using Browzar, the redirection is different. It goes to "username@)@server"

wasn't able to get the error msg from ftp.exe, but we tried it previously to
no avail.

Just a follow-up for anyone looking for a solution....

Resetting the users password fixed the problem. Turns out this not so
bright individual had special characters in her password, and danged if they
weren't the same characters that were showing up in the address bar of the
browser....

Some people's kids...

thanks for the help!
