Do you use a proxy or firewall ?
Can you please give us an example FTP URL ?
OS: other → Windows 98
Summary: unable to login or acces FTP sites. → unable to login or acces FTP sites.
In order to reproduce this bug no proxies or firewalls are required. I tried to
connect via ftp from different workstations (e.g. home, office), but it's all
the same.
A sample FTP URL which does not raise a login prompt but causes "alert 530" is
ftp://www.vegan.com

Somehow I don't think ftp://www.... is a valid anonymous ftp URI. No problem
reaching ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest-trunk/ in 2003011608
W32 trunk. Maybe you should try a newer build from this location.
Aaron: Does "It is a site I should have complete access to" mean that you have a
username and password?

Type:

ftp://USER@ftp.vegan.com

Mozilla will ask you for a password... see if it works.

Felix: any ftp site can be configured to accept anonymous ftp access, even a
site named "www..."
Ok, it is not a bug, it is just an undocumented feature. Using the scheme above
(ftp://USERNAME@URL) works fine. Thanks for the hint.
FTP's current design is mostly for browsers, and assumes the ftp URLs will work
when accessed directly. There is some discussion about how username errors
should be handled (assuming the error message is parsable).

Please mark this bug VERIFIED/dupe if you believe this bug is the same as the
bug I have duped.
