IE Crap

Right click on any HTM(L) file and select the 'Properties' button. When the 'Properties' menu opens up select the 'Change' button, then click Firefox, follwed by the 'OK' button.

Linux?

Seems to be only on ftp-style links, as in...

ftp://jjlarkin.lmi.net/R1.JPG

Maybe it's an ap-setting in Agent that I missed. ...Jim Thompson

I don't know why John insists on using 'FTP' links. He should just dump the photos into an unlinked folder on his main website so that search engines don't find them. Then you don't need FTP capability to see it. It would probably load a lot faster, as well.

A link like this: loads quickly, even on Earthlink's slow & old personal webspace servers. FTP is A LOT SLOWER for the same file.

His FTP server is wide open, as well. I see about 107 files, and one extra folder there with two more files. He has very little security there, since it is a public FTP server.

Crap ;-)

I just downloaded a Cadence PDK... a directory for every file... Eunuchs, what a pile of crap ;-) ...Jim Thompson

John has to prove his amateur status ;-) Though his Romanesco broccoli _does_ looks interesting. ...Jim Thompson

That's 68K bytes. It would load fast from anywhere. This is 69K

ftp://jjlarkin.lmi.net/CW_second_tunnel.jpg

and loads just about instantly. R1.jpg is over a meg, so that you can resolved the fractal structure.

Of course it's wide open. It's a public FTP site.

Add the directory to a Robots.txt file to disallow crawling there.

They aren't fast on the other side of the country. Several took over five seconds to load, and one gave me a server error the first try. I have over 7 MB/s download speed here.

Then don't load my files.

Could be... when I click the link, it gets opened with FF.

On my machine, (XP Pro SP-3), you click:

Start - Settings - Control Panel - Folder Options Then click on the File Types tab. Scroll down the list until you find the HTML file extention. Then, click the Change... button to reassign the program that will be used to open HTML files.

Repeat for HTM files, and any other file extentions you want Firefox to open.

My guess is you will find the file associations are currently set to IE instead of Firefox. And if so, I wonder why Firefox claims to be the default, when it clearly isn't.?

Good luck.

I think there is another setting that says "default browser". It has been a while since I used XP but I think it is in a different menu. It is in one that is something about web stuff IIRC.

It is the one that you use for browsing the internet.

From Dave Turner, an old Primenet compatriot:

Agent has an option to switch ftp to use Firefox.

Tools->Options->URL and MIME Settings->URL Types

Use the down arrow on URL: to find ftp: File Transfer Protocol

Uncheck the box "Share settings with the http protocol"

Set "Use custom settings (below)"

Browse to C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe

It just worked for me.

Worked for me ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Control panel - Add/remove programs - Set Program Access and defaults: Set your choices here.

Not applicable to IE but necessary for other programs: Internet explorer - Internet Options - programs tab - set your default programs here.

Oppie

Wide open or read-only? The former could be a big problem. OTOH, I do need some extra space for my data. ;-)

Do you have a problem reading?

He SAID WITH Firefox AS DEFAULT.

It's supposed to be read-only, but give it a try.

John

It is. anonymous can't do a 'put'.
