Linking to FTP folder

[monkeythumpa]

What is the syntax to link to a FTP folder with username and password? I know it will break in some browsers but I have seen it done in IE and my client is unaware that there are other browsers.

i guess this would help
<a href="ftp://www.example.com/">url link to ftp</a>

If you want to incorporate username and password into the link (on a publicly available page, this IS a security risk) the syntax would be:

<a href="ftp://username:[e-mail]/">link</a>

Thanks, the colon was tripping me up.
