i have some webpage space from my ISP and i want to share some of the files
on there with the public but not others, I have uploaded all the files into
the webspace and created an index.html page with hyperlinks to all the files
i want to be downloaded but it just comes up with a cannot display page when
you click on the items from the web.

It must be because its username and password protected but how do i get
round that?
 
If the links are to files other than web pages (and a few others) and all
you want is to download them you will need to right click on the link (you
created) and use the "Save Target As" on the menu...

An easy way not to have to do that is zip the files before up-loading them
then link to the zip files.

i tried right clicking and saving the target but it says login denied.

Is there some way i can make a file public on my web? (no username and
password required)

Its just one link thats on the page at the moment to try it.

Many Thanks,

Mike
 
change the link to just point to the file name by removing the following from the link:
ftp://www.mikensam.force9.co.uk/htdocs/

All I get is a directory listing - you're missing your default (index.html
etc) file....which file is it?
