in reply to FTP from web pages

Hi There!

Well.... what they can do is this: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT;

sub LogAllKindOfInformationOnThisUser;

LogAllKindOfInformationOnThisUser;
print "Location: ftp://filetheuserrequested\n\n";

#END

[download]
This will redirect the browser to the ftp file
and you may choose to save it, or the page you're
being redirected to might refresh to the ftp URL
through a META refresh tag...

'They' can do anything...'they' are evil....

Stand up to them

GreetZ!,

ps: sub LogAllKindOfInformationOnThisUser {#Be Creative};

    The other way (useful when generating files or extracting them from somewhere) is to: 
    print "Content-Type: image/gif\n\n"; #for example
while (<YOUR_FILE>) { print; }

    </CODE>

      This is quite a nice way of doing it. However, if the script that prints this is called "download.pl" then your browser will prompt to save the gif as download.pl.

      You can supply a different default filename by adding this to the headers:
      print "Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=filename.ext";

      [download]
      where you can change filename.ext to whatever you want.

        I used that once upon a time, but my Netscape didn't support that, and i still got "download.pl" as a name of file :-(

        It's IE only supported AFAIK
