ok what I thought was a handy little login for my ftp members who never really got the whole ftp client thing doesnt even seem to work... i picked it up from a javascript site...

but when I try to login to my ftp from it, it gives me the first page but when I try to click into subfolders it gives me a page cannot be displayed error. whats also funny is that I have folder view for ftp enabled but when I use this it gives me the non-folder view. when I literally copy the ftp url that the javascript generates into the address box and paste it into a new browser it works fine! I DONT understand?!

its probably not that important... people with no ftp clients can just type in the ftp url themselves as they have been but I get so frustrated and determined to make it work when something doesn't make sense

does it do this for everyone else? you can test it at http://javascript.internet.com/navigation/ftp-server-login.html
I would have uploaded it to my own webspace but my webhosts are currently making changes and I can't login :rolleyes:
you can test it on any ftp... i'd rather not give out details for mine unless i have to...
