Using filezilla--it asks for an FTP password for viewers?

#1 Post by aeg97610 » 2012-09-04 14:20

I had to make a simple web page for a class I'm taking. I used my school's web host. I am on a Mac and so could not use the FTP the school suggested. I used File zilla. The page comes up fine except it asks for the password for my log-in so that the page can load completely. Right now anyone can go to it and load the text, but not the image.

Is there a way to disable this so the page can be completely public? Thank you!

Yes, that happens if you have still an ftp:// link inside your HTML code. The site then tries to load the image from the FTP server and that requires your login data. So all you have to do is finding the ftp:// link inside your HTML code and change it to the corresponding http:// link.

I'm moving this to the HTML section since it is not really an FTP problem per se.
