Hi
FZ 0.9.60 beta

I have a user who gets graphics images from an ftp site I control using FZ Server.
When she creates the html page it renders perfectly to create this page. (For testing purposes lets assume the username and password are both GFX.

ftp://remote.bmxinternational.com.au/20 ... IVALS.html

She then copies that html page and pastes it into a marketing email and it fails.

When the html is resolved I see log messages like these

Which is great.

However, when she pastes the html page into an email (or word) we get only the following (per image)

and no images are retrieved.

Please excuse my poor formatting of this question. This is my first post on the forum and I am not familiar with all the tools.

Also, please excuse my ignorance of FZS. I only downloaded it recently and still getting my head around it.

My question is, when I paste the html into the email or word document, what do I need to do to make FZS retrieve the images just as it had for the original html page rendering?

Thanks in advance for anyone reading this but I have found a work-around which seems to work brilliantly and only requires the original html page (already rendered) so my problem is resolved.

I just have to teach my graphics person how to embed the html instead of copy/pasting it

Please don't use FTP links in marketing emails. Browsers and Email programs unfortunately have sh*tty FTP support, and Office uses the same sh*tty FTP support of the Internet Explorer.

If you have to provide a server for loading remote resources in Emails (which good Email programs block anyway), set up a web server and provide HTTPS links.
