 * Hi,
 * My hosting provider provide me a backup space for my server. I actually use it
   with FTP and credentials (login/password) but they also provide an auth by IP
   so I can connect to it without providing a password (auth is based on IP and 
   Mac address) but I’m not able to put an empty password in the form.
 * Could you help me to use this type of auth ?
 * There is a documentation from my provider to explain how it works (Security section):
   [https://documentation.online.net/en/dedicated-server/tutorials/backup/dedibackup#access_to_the_backup_space](https://documentation.online.net/en/dedicated-server/tutorials/backup/dedibackup#access_to_the_backup_space)
 * Thanks !

 * Hi,
 * Will it work if you supply any password? Or does it specifically require an empty
   password? Ideally it could let you in whatever password you supply, since based
   on your description, it doesn’t care about the password.

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for your answer 🙂
 * Finally I’ve tested what you suggested and I can put any random password it works!
   ^^
 * Sorry for the inconvenience, I should have tested this before!
 * Best regards,
    Kévin
