A host with insecure FTP and alphanumeric usernames

1 pointsby wyattpeak16년 전1 comments

I know this is a very odd question, but a particular service I'm working with requires an FTP account to push data to me via FTP through port 21 using an alphanumeric username. The only host I've been able to find which supports insecure FTP (lunarpages) uses FTP usernames of the format '[email protected]'. Does anyone know of a service which offers this? It's not exactly information they print in the pitch.

Since it's just a test, I'd prefer shared hosting, but honestly I'd settle for anything short of a dedicated server by now.

Cheers, Wyatt

A cheap VPS with any FTP daemon will do the trick. The usernames of [email protected] are a 'feature' of basically every shared hosting environment.

Alternatively, just about any CPanel based webhost will let you do this. Just log into the FTP with your 'main' username (your host should give you this), and everything should work okay.
