That format is not a standard - just some sites support it.

Hi, I want to directly access an excell-file on a ftp server from a macro,
by
giving the username an password for the ftp-site within the macro. How do
I
do this...?
I thought it was possible to put ftp:\\username:password@address in the
address and then everything should be ok.. but would you believe it, I
still
get asked for the password..

regards Jahn
