gilgolf Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I wanted to make some files downloadable from the public_ftp folder in my website folder. How do you make it so that when a link is clicked on the site, this file will download without having to sign into my ftp account? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geoff Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Public FTP is disabled on heliohost. You can easily serve the same files via HTTP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilgolf Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 but this doesn't download it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Create a .htaccess file in the directory you want only downloadable files and try adding this piece of code: ForceType application/octet-stream If you just want to match certain file types, use this: <FilesMatch "\.(css|html|jpg)$"> ForceType application/octet-stream </FilesMatch> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advance Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Public FTP is disabled on heliohost. […]Excuse the stupid question, but what is the "public_ftp" directory for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice IT Support Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I think it is created by default by cPanel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viclou Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 The public_ftp directory contains configuration files, and it only exists probably because heliohost's servers are unix-based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
