I need a way to convert a web URL to a valid FTP URL. For example, convert this:

  http://www.domain.com/folder/file.txt

to this:

  ftp://user:p...@domain.com/webroot/folder/file.txt

Not all servers use "public_html" so I can't just hard-code that as the web root. Is there a generic way to indicate the web folder on a server, the same way a tilde indicates the user's home folder? Or any other way to get the path?

The user name and password are known.
