How does one make a page forbidden and more importantly, how do u stop it being that way? Smart FTP on a paradise web page if that means anything.	Guest (0)

If you point your webbrowser at a directory, ie 'www.myswebsite.com the browser will attempt to load a standard default page. I cant remember the exact search order, but it attempts index.htm, default.htm, and the same pages with .html, .asp and probably some others. If there is none of these files in the directory, it will return the Forbidden error msg you are recieving. Solution: Ensure you have a page called index.htm or index.html etc contained in your directory.	Guest (0)

The FTP server will not allow access to any directory without being told to by its owner. The access can be set to none, read or write, or both, free to the world, 'anonymous', or to a user with name/password. To let your friend use FTP to set up a web site, the service provider will have given instructions.	Guest (0)
