RE: download files using ftp from browser
You are exactally correct. To download a file via FTP, all you do is make sure you have a functioning FTP server, make sure the files are available to anonymous users on the FTP server and then make the A HREF links like this: ftp://ftp.yourserver.com/path/to/file.html instead of http://www.yourserver.com/path/to/file.html This tells the client interface program (web browser) to connect via the FTP protocol instead of the HTTP protocol.

RE: download files using ftp from browser
One thing that is implicit in Moin's response is that you have an FTP server set up. Tomcat does not support this functionality. Most UNIX systems have FTP servers already installed and they are available for NT, just be careful - incorrectly configured FTP sites can be huge security holes.

RE: download files using ftp from browser
What happens if you have your ftp server set up, and you have the path to a file in your ftp server's default path, and on your download page you have prefix it with ftp:// I think the ftp downloads must be a function of your ftp server. -Original Message- From: aswath satrasala [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 6 June 2001 8:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: download files using ftp from browser Hello, Sorry, I think I did not phrase the question properly or I think I am looking for alternate answers.
