FTP Login Issues

Reply Contact

Hello,

I have set up an ftp site here and am working on setting some permissions. I do not have access to our active directory to add a user so I added one to the local server that the ftp site is running on. Then added the user to the ftp site with the proper permissions. The user shows up under the permissions tab of the ftp site as: username (COMPUTER\username)

But when I go to access the ftp site it will not take that username and password. I have tried \\servername\user..... user@servername.com.... servername\username.... and a few things like that but none of them seem to work....

Any thoughts?
