To open anonyous FTP session, just enter URL formated like:
ftp://server.name/.
Root directory of server will be displayed. You can control
eMail address sent during login by ARACHNE.CFG variable called
FakeFTPeMail - by default, your real eMail is sent.
To open authorized FTP session, you have to enter following URL:
ftp://username@server.name/home/directory/
You will be asked to enter your password. On most servers,
"/home/directory/" pathname is not identical to pathname used in HTTP protocol
(eg. on Unix servers, document http://server/~username/ is ussually
accessible also as ftp://username@server/home/username/public_html/index.html).
Alternative way to access ftp is to use URLs like:
ftp://username:password@server.name/home/directory/
The problem is, that the passwords will be stored as part of such URL in
history, cache, etc.
Note: FTP directory services (creating and removing directories, removing files) are not yet implemented; you have to use external FTP client to do this.
