Re: ftp conection..

I tried using fopen to connect using something like ftp://username:pass@some.ip/some/dir/ but that gave me a ("ftp://...@200.27.198.16/suma/noticias/","r") - No such file or directory error. I figured it was due the username:pass which might me confusing php3. I copied and pasted the URL from netscape, to ensure that the URL is correct.
