I'm using a URL in the following format in Windows Explorer to access my ftp site:

ftp://username:password@ftp.mysite.com/directory/

When I use my master account login, this works fine, but when I use another user which I explicitly granted Read and Write access to /directory/ for, Windows returns an error message:

[b]quote:An error occurred opening the folder on the FTP server. Make sure you have permission to access this folder.</blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">

Any ideas?

This is how IE work.

If you are not using your main user, use this path

ftp://username:password@ftp.mysite.com/[primaryusername]/directory/
