Hello in my Cpanel, I added new FTP with the name "genius" and it's details as following FTP Username: genius@mydomain.com FTP server: ftp.mydomain.com FTP & explicit FTPS port: 21 now if I want to add it in windows as network location it wont work as the username contains "@" in the username it give me error [QUOTE]--------------------------- FTP Folder Error --------------------------- Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the file name correctly and that you have permission to access the folder. Details: The URL is invalid
because the path is "ftp://genius@mydomain.com%40ftp.mydomain.com/" how to solve this problem ?

  Hey there! I don't believe there will be a good workaround for this for a custom FTP user, as Microsoft restricts the @ symbol for usernames and domains:

  after many trials, I logged in successfuly I added the ftp just like usual but in the username input I changed the "@" sign with " %40" and it worked.

  Hello, Do you have any idea about custom ftp port? For example if my ftp port is not 21, how do I connect it with microsoft map drive. I am trying ftp://domain.com:221 but it does not work.
