The RFCs actually say that if you do not pass a username/password in the url, then anonymous FTP is used. Unfortunately that's not what you want. IE and FTP just don't mix very well. Use a real FTP client and you'll be far better off. For our environment at work, we're having a serious look at beehive (www.thebeehive.com) which layers on top of a Linux server. It seems to make a lot of things simpler. It's not open source but it isn't very pricey either (for an enterprise). -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
