How to connect to FTP with a web browser
There are a few ways to connect by FTP to a host. One of the easiest ways is to use Internet Explorer as an FTP browser.
In order to connect by FTP, you just need to use the following address:
ftp://YourFtpUser:YourFtpUserPassword@yourdomain.com
However, if your FTP user to connect is similar to user@yourdomain.com then you will have to URL encode it like this:
ftp://YourFtpUser%40YourDomain.com:YourFtpUserPassword@yourdomain.com
In the above case it is important to note what the FTP username is:
YourFtpUser%40YourDomain.com
This address is URL-encoded and comes from YourFtpUser@YourDomain.com where @ has been substituted with%40, which is the ASCII code for @.

If you still have problems connecting by FTP, it is possible that your outgoing TCP port 21 is blocked by your local firewall or Internet service provider. If this is not the case, then your FTP server might be unreliable and you should transfer to a stable FTP service provider.
