Title: Downloading the PHP file
Post by: Mister Initial Man on August 30, 2006, 03:47:06 pm
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?
