Hi
i opened a domain and set up the site, and then created the directory \download by fire ftp. The two pdf’s in it, however, can only be downloaded through a login window. This would be ok, but on login the system does not accept a newly created ftp user but only my original one, and I don’t like to give that out. FTP permission settings to 755 or whatever don’t bring a result.
What can I do ?
Thanks and regards
Jurg
why you would use ftp to download that files?
You can use HTTP.
But… your second FTP account should works fine^^
Maybe delete and create it again…
You must open the url through http, not through ftp…
so the url should be:
yourusername.bplaced.net/download
it must be http!

Hi
maybe I explained it wrongly. I open the site normally thru http:, then I have a download page. I click on the PDF which is linked to the dir \download on the bplaced-server. THEN - the popup comes up and asks for user and password. I want people to be able to DL without that login. On another testsite this worked well, only there the pdf can’t be bigger than 1MB to download. At bplaced, this works.
I transferred the site viy netobjectsfusion and copied the PDF files by fire pft afterwards.
hop that’s more clear to you 
Thanks Jurg
if your FTP login works on that login popup, you linked your PDF as
ftp://user.bplaced.net/download/bla.pdf
but you should use
user.bplaced.net/download/bla.pdf
My English is not good
Use xx.net/xx/xx.pdf
Have you a .htaccess?
Delete the .htacces or change the settings.
do what whitetiger & I told you!
