Re: Netscape doesn't save ftp messages

1998-02-27 Thread E.L. Meijer \(Eric\)
 
 I've had this problem for a long time, but have been ignoring it.
 When ever I click on a link using Netscape that is of the form
 ftp://ftp.xyz.com/dir/file  the file is displayed in the netscape 
 window.  That's sorta OK for text files, but binary files do the
 same thing.  On other versions of netscape it brings up a 
 save file dialog.  I'm running Netscape 3.01, and Debian 1.3. 
 
 How do I fix this?

Right click on the link and choose Save link as ...

shift-click.

You should be able to edit the preferences to make the save box pop up
also.  I'm running 4.04 now and don't remember the exact format of this,
however.
