Ha, that's Netscape for you!! >(Its of course trivial on servers like Apache). > >We haven't dug too deeply into this yet, but if anyone has references > please tell The company I work for has a small FTP site using Windows NT 4 Web Server. Setting up user accounts is easy on that system but expensive as you need an unlimited user version of Windows NT4 Server if you are going to make it so that we have to use our passwords to gain access to the FTP!! But for anonymous access just your basic NT Server running the Web Server will do. You could set up an anonymous FTP server and ONLY release it's URL on the password protected Web site. Even if the URL gets out, the files contained are only of use to Net Yaroze users anyway! Perhaps letting non Yaroze users see some code would be a good incentive for them to join up!! ;) As for suggestions for the current web site, here is my offering... 1. Tidy up the 'FTP' area heaps. As someone said already, it's hard to find anything of use easily! 2. The provide the demos in .ZIP files or just .TAR not this .TAR.GZ crap you have now. We have to unpack them twice! Also, my browser always says it can't open the .TAR.GZ files for download!! However, I have found it actually does download them into the cache before bringing up the error message so I have to copy the files out of the cache. (BTW I use IE4) Ok, that will do for now :) JohnT ------------------------------------------ Send e-mail to johnt@nettech.demon.co.uk Visit my web site at www.coco.net.uk/johnt ------------------------------------------
