How Do I Make An Ftp Url For Anonymous Access?

[Guest twelves]

How do I make an FTP Url for anonymous access?

 

I created an account for public. anonymous@12string.net

However I need to make a URL that is clickiable so my band member can upload his songs.

 

I can never get it correct!

 

ftp://logon:password@www.yoursite.com or what ever.

 

I created a user called anonymous@12string.net.

 

Im not sure the correct format.

 

Any advice? Not for a FTP client! But Explorer.

 

Thanks. Sorry for such a basic question.

here is the way i would do it

 

 

first I would make a folder called music or something like that in my public directory.

then go to ftp set up and set up an ftp account with whatever username and password you want.

In the ftp setup screen it will ask you for a directory that this ftp account will have access to, enter the name of the folder that you just created so it will looks something like /home/cpanelname/public_html/music

then click create

 

now, once thats done, if you have the person go to ftp://www.yoursite.com they'll either get a screen that has some tips for using ftp, or a password box..but down in the bottom right it will say ananymous@yoursite.com.

 

click on file in the upper left and click log on as, then he'll get a name and password box, the only folder he will have access to is the folder you created and specified for that username

Yes thanks so far.

 

I created didjeridu@12string.net (/modules/Mp3)

 

Login and pass is didjeridu

 

So far I can not get it to work from explorer.

Even if I do…this is not a public ftp as then someone can get in there and upload warez or become a cyber squatter? And trash all my music?

 

BTY this is for my personal friends and their Original Music, not crap from mtv.

 

Last time I had a simple PHP script that would restrict size and file type to Mp3 and Ogg ect…

It uploaded from http://www.12string.net/modules/Mp3/upload.php (As Example)

 

Do you know any easy PHP scripts for this?

 

I have installed 25 of them this weekend and can not get it correct.

I seam to be in a slump with PHP. Were talking just editing a single line of code however I don’t have SSH access to find my /path/to/directory/

 

 

Hmm..

 

As always, grateful for the help.

Are you asking for

/home/account_name/public_html/foldername/ ?

[Guest twelves]

Thanks. Ill upload another PHP script and try that.

 

If you look at http://www.12string.net/ in the andromeda script in the center of the page...twords the left you can see a little + icon.

 

As quoted from the ftp instructions.

 

You can configure Andromeda to provide a link to your FTP server by setting the ftpPath preference (see the prefs guide). If you do, users will see a icon in the menubar linking to your FTP site. For instance, set ftpPath to ftp://www.yoursite.com or ftp://logon:password@www.yoursite.com

 

Ill keep trying!

 

THANKS!
