I am having some issues here with connecting to a ftp:// site...

How do I connect to this address ftp://idx.fnismls.com with a username and password. I have tried cfhttp and cfftp and it fails with both. This address only works in a brower if you type in the full address with ftp:// ... if you just type in idx.fnismls.com it will not ask you for the username and password to get access.

I have no clue as to what to do. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

here's a sample of what you'd do...

<cfftp action="OPEN" server="ftp://idx.fnismls.com" username="username"
password="password" result="" stoponerror="Yes" port="21">

what's the exact problem you're having?

any errors/mesages?
