Author Topic: Downloading the PHP file (Read 1622 times)

Is there a way to download a PHP file from the Web-FTP, so that the PHP in it can be edited? I do not want the HTML file that the PHP file generates, I want the file itself. *Hopes he made his question understandable.*

If you use an FTP program like FileZilla, you should be able to download a PHP file to your disk. Lemme try...

Yup. It works.

Sorry, I had not made my meaning clear. ':blush:'

I meant being able to download them from your browser WITHOUT an FTP client, i.e. from your browser.

In any case, I found a way to do it: type ftp://[username]@ftp.furtopia.org into your address bar. It will ask you for your password; enter it, and there you are.

If you're going to do that, you can skip the password prompt by typing in "ftp://username:password@ftp.furtopia.org/". Not that I recommend it. (And ftp: links only open in your browser because it is an FTP client, and a very limited one at that. You can get better control using the web-ftp, at http://webftp.furtopia.org/.)

I'll try that. Thanks.

P.S. Is there a way to announce a topic "resolved" in here?
