Using FTP to connect to http?

My client wants me to provide files at his FTP site, but it is set up to use a web browser (the URL begins with "http://" instead of "ftp://"). After that, it is a typical string and port designator. Is there a way I can use Salamander on this site?


Thanks in advance for any help,

Jeff

That will depend if it is really a ftp protocol (ftp, sftp, ftps, etc.) or http one (like webdav, sharepoint, etc.). That will depend on the service (daemon) which is serving you. You have to either check the traffic with something like wireshark to see what is really going on or or you have to ask your client what service (daemon) are they using.

I've already initiated the second of your suggestions. I'm unfamiliar with WireShark; will have to check it out.
