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

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.

Thanks in advance,
Tom
