It’s amazing how bad my memory is…at least I think so…I can’t honestly remember, never the less. I was needing to access some files on a SNAP server (basically an older NAS unit) that we have and because of complications with the O.S. on it I could not do this easily. I can however FTP to the SNAP server and transfer it that way. There was no FTP client on the storage server I was going to send it to (nor did I feel like installing one) and I didn’t want to use up my resources system resources doing an FXP (still having to install IIS on that server).

   So the simple solution…use internet explorer(not the best way I know but humor me). Now if you just get all crazy and type in ftp://ad.dr.e.ss then it will log you in anonymously. That’s no good for me because on the SNAP we have security set-up and while you can see the files, you can get crap. Now I used to remember how to type the user name, password and all that jazz in the address bar, but like I was saying about memory, i forgot.
Well in case you want to know, here it is:

ftp://user:password@ftpserver/url-path

   Let your memory serve you better than mine does me.
