Re: WE/IE FTP

How do you know that IE is sending blank password?
If I remembered correctly, IE will login as anonymous first, then prompt if
that's not successful.
and this is client behavior......

For FTP to my ISP (Verizon) provided web space I use Windows Explorer (used
to be affectionately referred to as file mangler (file manager)). It works
fine except for one little quirk. When establishing a connection it first
attempts to login with my correct user name but a blank password. Due to
this the first login attempt obviously fails, and there is about 15 to 30
second delay. Then on the second login attempt it adds the password and
successfully logs in.

It's annoying having to wait that extra 15 to 30 seconds to establish a
connection.

Why does Windows Explorer first attempt with a blank password, and how can I
get it to provide the correct password on the first attempt.

TIA
