html coding problem....

[Mr. NoOne]

I'm doing a form where you enter a username, password and comments. When you hit 'submit' it's supposed to log you in automatically into my ftp server, using the username and password provided in the form.

I though it would be possible to do something like this:

<input type="hidden" name="success" value="ftp://username:Password@myftp.com/">

but apparently it doesn't work.

If 'username' and 'password' are my 2 variables (the name of my fields) can I send them with the link so it opens that user automatically in the FTP?

I already tried putting a real name like:
<input type="hidden" name="success" value="ftp://john:smith@myftp.com/">

and it worked....

Do I make sense?

Thanks

Good one!

Although it doesn't work in my case....

Here's what I have...

it's a form that when you hit 'Submit' it uses a CGI to send an email with the contents of the form (i don't know CGI, so i didn't wanna touch that), also at the same time you hit Submit it's got the following...

<input type="hidden" name="success" value="ftp://admin:abcd@myftpserver.com/">

Now, that line works and I receive the email...but, I don't want everybody to login as 'admin' of course...so I tried to do a string concatenation, using the fields from the form, like this:

<input type="hidden" name="success" value="ftp://" + form.username.value + ":" + form.password.value + "@myftpserver.com/">

It didn't work......

Any other ideas????
