Hi all,
Im unclear on what to do here. If someone could point me in the right direction. I think im on the right track with this module, but...
Im trying to map a feed from another site for an ubercart product content type. The site uses a csv file for daily updates. The site URL im pulling the feed from is as follows= ftp://ftp.site.com/feed.csv
-When I connect via browser, this URL requests a username and password to allow me to access it and the files within its directory.
What should I enter into the URL field under the feeds module? Ive tried several so far with no luck. At this point I think I may not be quite understanding the concept of what is happening here. Am i going about this correctly, or is there something I need to do with my server?

So far what ive found is that in a browser, i can connect like so:
ftp://username:password@ftp.site.com/folder/folder2/feed.csv
but in feeds it keeps saying:
Download of ftp://username:password@ftp.site.com/folder/folder2/feed.csv failed with code -1003.

Any ideas? Thanks

I have created an experimental FTP fetcher in a sandbox repo. http://drupal.org/sandbox/kimpepper/1229612 It It depends on the drupal_ftp module and offloads most of the work to it.

Please feel free to try it out and let me know if you experience any issues.
