FTP login authentication

Sep 16 06 4:32 am

Is is possible to get Internet Explorer working via WinGate proxy when the site requires authentication? I can use the raw FTP like this:

O:\>ftp
ftp> open vserver01
Connected to vserver01.
220 WinGate Engine FTP Gateway ready
User (vserver01:(none)): myusername@ftp.informed-direct.com
331 Password required for rob nicholson.
Password:
230 User rob nicholson logged in.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list.
...etc...

However, I can't get the same working with Internet Explorer. I've tried entering things like ftp://myusername@ftp.informed-direct.com etc but I always get "You are not authorized to view this page" with HTTP error 403 - Forbidden.

I can connect using Internet Explorer to sites with anonymous login like ftp.microsoft.com. I've turned off folder view already.

Any ideas?

Bit confused I'm afraid. What would the address be if these are the details:

FTP site: ftp.informed-direct.com
Username: Fred Bloggs
Password: bloggs
Proxy: vserver01

There is no authenticated required against the proxy itself.

Thanks, Rob.
