Hey guys,

I recently setup a FTP server for a website I run to host media files on. Well a lot of the members have no clue how to use or connect to a FTP server, not surprised.

So I created a Media page and was going to put each file on there, organzied somehow, so when clicked to download, it will download from the FTP server. This way they can just download from the website instead of FTP server, so easier for a lot.

How do I do this, I've never messed with ftp servers.

Thanks!
David

Some server side code will be required, either ASP or PHP

yes server side code will require for sure.

is it like you are giving a facility for your site users to download some group of files?

then i suggest zip those files and put them on your server. then on your site link the file name with the path on server, so when the user will click on the file name it will start downloading automatically.

for e.g your file name is mytestsite.zip and is located in upload folder on server, so now you give a link to your file name on your page like

<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/upload/mytestsite.zip">MyTestSite</a>

above code will create a link to file MytestSite and when user click on it it will start downloading the file automatically.

hope it helps

Alright thanks guys, I'll toy around with this. I know ASP and PHP enough to get me by so I should be good.
