I have a web based catalogue listing documents. The documents are located on
a FTP-server which requires user authentication. The documents are accesed by
use of a URL build up like this:
ftp://usernameassword@servername/folder/folder/filename
This works perfect with documents like DOC, TXT, PDF and others.
The problem is when trying to access .TIF files. I have tried several
programs, but all seems to fail on a variants of the following message:
"C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.IE5\SDMVYPAF\Filename[3].TIF: Can't read file header!
Unknown fileformat."
It seems like the TEMP-file from IE is removed before the viewer/program
get's to open it.
I have tried to assosiate TIF with the following programs without luck:
- IrfanView
- Microsoft Office Picture Viewer
- Paint
- Windows Picture and Fax Viewer
The only program that has helped partway to the solution is QuickTime. With
this program I am able to open the TIF file, but I am not able to print it
out. A printout will result in a blank page. PrintPreview does also show me a
blank page.
I am running Windows XP Professional with SP2 and all available patches
installed, Office 2003 Professional and Internet Explorer version
6.0.2900.2180.dpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519
Any help is much appreciated
Thanks!
