I cannot seem to open an FTP site in my browser. It prompts for the username and pass but when I enter it, I get a page cannot be found error.
It works fine from the command line. Does anyone have any suggestions on this?

Greetings caw01 !
1. Clear your DNS cache. Go to Start > Run and type CMD
and hit OK.
At the command prompt, type ipconfig /flushDNS
and hit OK. Then test.
2. Clear your cache. Go to Tools > Internet Options > General tab. Under Temporary Internet Files, click "Delete Files" button. Also click "Delete Cookies" button. Click OK.
3. If you are using Internet Explorer, check if the site is restricted or blocked. Go to Tools > Internet Options > Security. Hightlight Restricted Sites and see if the blocked site is located there.
Also under Content tab > Content Advisor, check if the site is restricted there. Remove it.
Also, under Security tab, add the website to your trusted zone.
4. Check if antispyware, antivirus, or firewall is blocking the website.
Hope this helps, war1
