Hmm, this didn't work out quite right if you read your
email via yahoo, so let me reiterate...

   put URL "ftp://[name]:[paswd]@[host]:3001/"
into fld "Browser"

UPDATE:
When I specify the host by its ip-number, I get the
error that it's not a valid port.
But when I specify the host by its domain name, I get
the error that it's an incorrect login.

The truth of the matter is, that I don't have access
on the standard port, but I do have access on the
other port.

Is there a way to remind RR to take the port number
into account ?

Best regards,
