Figured out what the FIrefox problem was. When it was installed, it defaulted to Manual Connection to Proxy server (which we no longer use). I selected Automatically Detect, & now it works.

We're on WinXP. I use Firefox, & have no problem connecting to the site, or downloading files to check on their accessibility. One of my coworkers is using Internet Explorer 7, & has problems viewing the files. I used to be able to right-click on a file in IE, & I'd have an option of saving the link (i.e. the file) to my computer (this was also available through either Ctrl-click or Alt-click-can't remember which). Now, in IE 7, I have the option of "Save Target as...", & when I try that, the file starts to download, then stops, telling me that the login was unsuccessful (I have to log in to the FTP site with a username & password, & have no problem with that). I then tried to install Firefox on her computer, which looked successful. But, when opening Firefox, it can't connect. So here are a couple of questions: 1) How can I download the files from the FTP site in IE like I do in Firefox? 2) Why can't I get Firefox to work on her computer, when it works fine on mine (she has Administrator status on her computer, & I had her do the Firefox installation). tia. david David Turk Manager, Preservation Imaging Services Indiana Historical Society Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center 450 W.
