so i have an ftp site that requires a UN and PW, i have all the
headaches mentioned. our clients complain constantly. there are
other ftp sites i go to however (with ie7) that will prompt for the UN
and PW and work great. what are they doing that i'm missing? how do
they get a login window to appear?
