A standard Hyperlink is displayed as the following:
ftp://domain.com

An embedded Hyperlink is similar, however it contains the username and password:
ftp://username:password@domain.com

To create a embedded Hyperlink you must add the username and password between ftp:// and domain name:
ftp://username:password@domain.com

  • Highlighted in blue is first the protocol and domain name
  • Highlighted in red are two special characters used as identifiers to communicate to your browser where the username, password, and domain begins and ends in the Hyperlink
  • Highlighted in orange are the credentials for the username and password
