My site's on a FTP, but I haven't been able to log onto it for ages. I'm using a friends FTP.
How do I allow people to download from the FTP? Before I would use my web address...but I don't know what the address is (if any) for this FTP.
What would the link be?
Somebody help me please....at least nudge me in the right direction.
I'm getting so frustrated!
(damn...I knew I should have put this in the lounge)
use this address to connect with Internet Explorer to the ftp:
ftp://<<your friend's IP>> (put this in the browser address bar - note put your friends IP directly after the / without the '<<')
If you have a username and pass for the ftp then use this format:
ftp://username@<<your friend's IP>> the browser will then ask you for the pass.
Is there anyway to do it without giving out the password?
I don't know if he would want me to do that.
Like I said before, my FTP was web1000. I could give links to files by using my website. www.brownsugarstudios.web1000.com/files/filename. If I don't know the site he is hosting, is there no other way to do that?
if you have the ability to change/create FTP accounts, just great one called guest with a password of 'guest' or something.
and you should still be able to give direct http links to files for stuff, unless it's in a protected directory.
But the simple solution would be to add an "anonymous" account without a need for a password at all.Quote:
