Shot in the dark, so dont take it as gospel, but maybe you need to change your public ftp directory to point to the web directory or where the images are located?
ftp://hostname/ would connect via anonymous (might have to enable anonymous) ftp://user:password@hostname would connect via username and password, but obvously this isnt what you're after Darren -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 23 November 2001 12:13 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [scottish] Simple FTP question I'm working on a web application which will allow people to select and download pictures from a photo library. What should the file permissions be set to so that you can download files from the ftp directory of a Linux (Mandrake 8.1) box via a web browser? On the site I'm working on they're set to 644, which lets you download directly with ftp, but not by clicking on a ftp://mysite/demo.jpg type link in a web page.
