Hi,

I'm using ftp://username:password@ftp.mysite.com.dir/filename to open a file from ftp server and allow the user to edit the file and save.

I'm worried about disclosing the username and password as the code will be part of activex component and is not visible.

My Problem is even after supplying the password, it is asking the password again before opening the file.

Why it is so? I don't the application to ask for the password as I'm sending thru code.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

The username and password will be visible to any network sniffing software.

Anyone have an answer to the second part of his question?
