cant acces files on server, please help
Hey guys.
I have made a website for a friend and he gave me some webspace to put it up on.
I've uploaded the files, but the thing i cant view the files on the internet!
I know the http address to get to them, but when i type it in in internet explorer, it doesnt let me view them. it says:
You are not authorized to view this page
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials you supplied.
You are not authorized to view this page
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials you supplied.
This is strange....
It seems to let me see jpegs ive uploaded, but not htm or swf files...
Any help or ideas much appreciated
Thanks

Are you trying to view the pages directly, i.e. http://sitename/page.htm or just the directory http://sitename/ ? If the later, then you need to make sure that you have an index page, usually index.htm or index.html in that directory. You probably need to check the webroot permissions, chmod the directory to 755 (7 - owner has all, 5 - owner's group has read/execute, 5 - everyone has read/execute).

I believe that is a pemissions error, is this occuring with all browsers?
you likely need to change the permissions on your folder containing the files....
could be iis problem...
