Hello,

There are a few occasions when it would be helpful if I can place a file on my ftp server and instruct a colleague to go to the ftp site and download the file.

I have placed a file at root and also within htdocs, bu I am unable to figure out how to instruct my colleague to download the file.

For example, I have tried:

http://ftp02.powweb.com/my-user-name/files/the-file

when the folder "files" is placed at the ftp root

I have also tried:

http://ftp02.powweb.com/my-user-name...files/the-file

when the folder "files" is placed within the htdocs

Neither of my two attempts have worked.

Thanks for your help!

The easiest way is to give your colleague an FTP client, but the other easy way is to put it within a folder and link them to that folder, i.e. - you'd put it in "/htdocs/forcolleague/" and you'd link them to "www.mydomain.com/forcolleague".

Thanks, that did it!
