IE 8 Download From FTP Site Without Login

[WCarp]

I can not download a file with IE 8 32 bit with two computers, one running

Vista and the other Windows 7 because everytime I get a login box requiring

me to login. I do not have login credentials and can not login even

anonymously.



The Tech who sent me the link says the other clients have no problem using

the link---they apparently do not get the login box.



I have this problem on two different Windows computers with Firefox also. I

finally tried Chrome and no login box appeared so I was finally able to

download the file!



Is there some setting in IE 8 or Windows that will allow me to download from

an FTP site without the login issue like with the Chrome browser?

Just talking out loud;



T hat's strange. Are you sure the login box is coming from that site or is

it possibly something at your end? I can sort of picture it being either the

Cards & Logins box a la FF, or perhaps the ISP is intermittantly

security-checking for passwords as sometimes happens. There are a few

possibilities, another being a slight mis-spelling of the URL that goes to a

place where sign-in is required.





HTH,
