Submit XML - FTP Server wants username and password

Question

I am new to Livecycle and very excited about the product.
I would like the Acrobat 8 users of my PDF form (that was created in Livecycle 8.2) to submit their XML data to my ftp server when they hit my submit button.
I have create a submit button and entered into the object URL:ftp://xxx.com/home/wildedge/public_html/docs/
Submit as: XML Data (XML)
Data Encoding: UTF-8
My ftp server wants a username and password to be entered before it will allow a file transfer. How do I submit my username and password with this submit button?

Here is the PHP Script I ended up using on this project to make it all work, I called XMLupload.php. Just in case someone has the same questions I had.

<br /><?<br /?>
require_once("configuration.php");
<br /> $conf=new JConfig();
<br /> $con=mysql_connect($conf-&gt;host,$conf-&gt;user,$conf-&gt;password);
<br /> mysql_select_db('wilder_joomla',$con);
<br />
<br /> define('ADMIN_ROOT_DIR',dirname(__FILE__));
<br /> $xml_uploaddir = ADMIN_ROOT_DIR."/administrator/xml/";
<br /> $pdf_uploaddir = ADMIN_ROOT_DIR."/administrator/pdf/";
<br />
<br /> function random($length)
<br /> {
<br /> $hash =date('YmdHis',time()+8*3600)."_";
<br /> $chars = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
<br /> $max = strlen($chars) - 1;
<br /> mt_srand((double)microtime() * 1000000);
<br /> for($i = 0; $i &lt; $length; $i++)
<br /> {
<br /> $hash .= $chars[mt_rand(0, $max)];
<br /> }
<br /> return $hash;
<br /> }
<br /> function get24hTime($time){
<br /> if(strpos($time, "am")){
<br /> $time = trim(str_replace("am","",$time));
<br /> $temp = split(":",$time);
<br /> return substr("0".$temp[0],strlen($temp[0])-1).":".$temp[1];
<br /> }else if(strpos($time, "pm")){
<br /> $time = trim(str_replace("pm","",$time));
<br /> if(substr($time,0,2)=="12") return $time;
<br /> return strval(intval(substr($time,0,strpos($time,':')))+12).substr($time,strpos($time,':'));
<br /> }
<br /> }
<br />
<br /> $file_path = $xml_uploaddir.random(10).".xml";
<br /> $temp = split("/",$file_path);
<br /> $xml_path = $temp[count($temp)-2]."/".$temp[count($temp)-1];
<br />
