Hello, For some reason, a page on my website is asking users for a username and password. My site: http://bit.ly/hvGG1 The url that's asking for a password: http://bit.ly/aU1t0g I emailed goDaddy (my hosting provider) andthey said it had to do with "permissions" in my ftp program. I had never heard of permissions before, so I did some googling and found out how to set them in my ftp program (Smartftp). However, the permission boxes are all unchecked and set to 0. This seems to be the same settings as all the "normal" html files on my site. They're all unchecked and set to zero. Any thoughts on how to make this password thing go away? Thank you in advance for any replies. Tim edit: If I try to upload the page with my webpage-maker program, I get and error "550 - access denied". However, I can see (and apparently change) the file if I log into SmartFtp client. edit2: No problem uploading other html files - I just get the error when I try to upload this particular file.
ssmm987 - Sorry... you're speaking greek to me. I created the file with wepage-maker, like I created all of the files on my site. I got errors when I had webpage maker upload it. So I saved it as html, logged into my ftp account, and dragged the html file in. I know chmod has to do with permissions, but I really don't understand them. (And the wikipedia article is a little over my head.) Here's a screenshot of the permissions menu: http://i.imgur.com/jTb3O.png Thanks!
A permission of 0 or ---------- would make it so that the file has no permissions to be used by anyone. You may want to try using 0644 permissions -r-xr--r--
Thanks for the help Zacharooni! After several phone calls with GoDaddy, they have finally removed all the permissions and the site is at last working again.
