nottoolate Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hello, I'm trying to hyperlink to a file that's on our remote server and I'm having trouble with the path. The server does require a login/pass and I'm not sure if that needs to be included... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 If the user's browser has authenticated with that server recently then the username and password won't be required (because the browser will still remember them and/or the user entered them already). If not then you probably should. Keep in mind that they'll be right there in the URL for anybody to see. http://username:password@www.example.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredrikrob Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I would like to hyperlink from the resources which don't need any authentication. It's not good too use user-name and password in the url. Instead you can share your resource through any other way. Ftp with anonymous permission is good option for the same .
