How to Use Web FTP / browser-based FTP

How to use browser-based FTP (also known as WebFTP) on your Windows PC:

Open My Computer (do NOT open Internet Explorer).

Input one of the following URLs into your Address Bar, replacing the credentials listed with your account information:
ftp://username:password@serverIPaddress/
- or -
ftp://username:password@domain.com/

*NOTE*: This will not work with additionally created FTP accounts or addon domain FTP accounts, as your computer will not accept two @ symbols in the URL. You must replace the @ in your username with "\40". So, the resulting URL will look like:

ftp://username\40domain.com:password@serverIPaddress/
