Direct access to FTP site files


Direct access to FTP site files Jim Matthews
2/24/2005 11:02:59 AM
iis ftp:
I run a secured FTP site - that is, you must have a logon and password to
access anything.

On other (anonymous) sites, I can access a particular file - e.g.,
ftp://ftp.site.com/dlfolder/picture.jpg

On my site, you can only "browse" the folder - that is, as in the example
above - ftp://ftp.site.com/dlfolder and then browse to get the file. If I
use the address above, I get "Page cannot be displayed".

Is there some setting which I am missing, or is this because it is a secured
site ?

Thanks in advance

JM

I should mention that I am not even getting the prompt for authentication

Here is the log - containing a few attempts - even a successful one after
removing the file name

Thanks for your help

By default IE will auto login as anonymous, if anonymous access wasn't
allowed, then IE will prompt you hence you see the USER anonymous and the
password is IEUser. Status code 530 meaning user is unable to login.

if you enable anonymous login, do you experience the problem ?

No

That was sort of the question - does FTP react differently to "file" as
opposed" to "folder" access ?

Thanks for your help

It's different in a way. as file is file and folder may contain many files.
Anyway, I believe from client-server point of view, it's the same. E.g.
client send the request and server response accordingly. it's then up to the
client to 'manipulate' the result.
