How to connect to FTP with a web browser?There is a build in FTP support in most web browsers, including the most popular Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. Especially Internet Explorer can be used as a fully featured FTP client with a native drag-and-drop support for files manipulation.
In order to use the web browser for a ftp client, you have to connect to the FTP address as follows:
ftp://YourFtpUser%40YourDomain.com:YourFtpUserPassword@yourdomain.com
In the above case it is important to note what the FTP username is:
YourFtpUser%40YourDomain.com - it is URL encoded and comes from YourFtpUser@YourDomain.com where @ has been substituted with %40 for browser compatibility.
If you are using your main cPanel username to connect, you can use simply:
ftp://YourCpanelUser:YourCpanelPassword@yourdomain.com
