been given wierd ftp adress by host please help

Ok ive been given an http:// ftp adress lol
ok here it is the host name assigned to me until i ay my account is http://server1.web-mania.com/users/djbiachi/

and smart ftp just wont let me use that adress please help i dont know where else to turn.

all help will be appreciated.

You should be able to connect with the following address:

server1.web-mania.com/users/djbiachi/

Exactly that, nothing less, nothing more. HTTP is a completely different protocol than FTP, and SmartFTP, obviously, does not support HTTP.

ok thanks but now ive got a new problem.
im connecting to the server but when it starts logging in it says

530 : unable to set anonymous privileges.
but i aint clicked to select the anonymous login.

is this a fault with the programme or with the server?

Take a few minutes and view the Connect Tutorial.

ok thanks for the help

ok ive watched the tutorial but it still aint solved my problem that its unable to set anonymous privileges even though im not ticking the anonymous option.

what else can I try?

that privilage must be set from the server.
