hi Rob,

On my Mac, I opened up a Terminal window, and typed:

ftp ftp.dekko.com

This worked fine. I got the sign-on as expected with any command-line FTP.

I also tried it within Firefox on my Mac, and that also immediately
prompted me for a sign-on.

It did not, however, seem to work within Safari (Apple's browser).

I tried accessing it using Windows File Explorer and it works fine.

Problem is that I've got this one poor fellow who is stuck on Apple
instead of a business OS and he wants to be able to access it using

Safari

or Chrome. I've not used either one of those and not sure they'd fare

better than IE. Obviously he's having issues with that. I am guessing
that browsers keep throwing anonymous at it more times than my exit point
cares to hear about, while Windows file explorer gives up earlier, and
breaks down and asks you for the user id and password.

I also suggested FileZilla (which also works fine) but I've heard nothing
on that suggestion.
