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, Twayne -- Newsgroups are great places to get assistance. But always verify important information with other sources to be certain you have a clear understanding of it and that it is accurate.
