How to download server files with only ftp link - ftp

So I have just started to work on a client's site, and their site is apparently on a hong kong based hosting company.
I asked them the username and password for accessing the files and their old developer gave us this ftp:/130.. ip address like link
with the username and password.
When I click the link and the browser takes my username and password, I get a index list of all the files.
I however want to download all the files and I was wondering if there is a way of doing so without having the hosting site to have admin log in from.
Just in case the hong kong office guys dont give in all the info.
What should I do to have the files download to a folder using something like Filezilla or some other method? Cause I am new to web development and design, I tried using filezilla but that didnt give me the directory or connect fully.

the ftp user that gave u is limited . so with filezila you can see just a specific folder.
and in another hand , to download easily u can download them with IDM , just set user , pass into it and download all the files.

Hosting Own Website and others

I might be on the wrong section to ask this but.
After signing up with Blue Host, for a personal website blog, i know i have the ability to add extra websites for free, however would it be possible for me to add someone else website that i don't own but gave me permission to add and i let them host their website on my plan.
can they still access their account without me giving them my blue host details.its kinda of a stupid question, once i think about it.
any help will do.
You can do it in one way..
STEP-1
You have to create different FTP accounts for all users and provide a seperate folder to all users they can access that folder only via FTP details.
They can add/update/delete files that they owns.
STEP-2
Tell you user to forward his/her domain to yousite.com/folder-assign to FTP
FINISHED
Now what happen when someone open your users site.
lets says your domain is YOURDOMAIN.COM and your user domain is MYUSERDOMAIN.COM, now your user have forwarded his/her domain to your domain YOURDOMAIN.COM/FOLDER_ASSGIN to FTP
-In URL user see their own domain name MYUSERDOMAIN.COM actually it opens your site's folder that is assign to your user

Giving someone access to an addon website on my server

I need to give someone access to a website I made for a friend but only want them to have access to the addon domain folder. Is this possible (with JustHost)?
Figured it out. In case anyone was wondering, in the control panel on JustHost there is an FTP Accounts section where you can give access to certain addon domains such as public_html/domainname.com with its own login.

Website access with cached Windows credentials

I am working at a company which uses an intranet site as a portal to a bunch of other local sites. Unauthorized people in the company have been accessing it, so we want to secure it. Users, when accessing the website for the first time will have to enter a username and password. If they are on a certain group in the Active Directory, they will be given access and their credentials will be stored so that they don't need to enter their username/password again. I have looked into NTML, ASP.NET, but am not sure how to proceed.
Any thoughts/ideas are greatly appreciated.
Dump your solution. Use Integrated Windows Authentication, namely Kerberos, in IIS. It will automatically pass all credenentials to your server. Note that every participant must be part of your AD domain.

Open FTP server on client side on button click

I am developing a web application.
If a user clicks on a button on the web page, then FTP server should be open in windows explorer and the user should be able to paste files on the server.
Please help me out......
Thanks in Advance.
I'm going to guess you are developing on PHP? instead of connecting to FTP perhaps you can try a php based file manager which opens upon user's click.
Below link provides good free file managers that allow users to manage files (alike on FTP) directly on the web, and it also will allow you to add protection on file level.

on another note you can hardcode a link to the ftp to contain the username and password
note that most browsers do not open on windows explorer and you won't really have control on that through web. I definitely suggest the above instead.
xtp://username#name.ext will prompt for password
xtp://username:password#name.ext will transmit password witb no security

joomla website without access to central server - is it possible?

I want to develop a website in an existing domain name, say http://www.example.com/~username/
I have access only to my domain.
Is there any way I can create a joomla website?
In other words, do I have to ask people in the main server to install joomla?
download joomla from here and upload it your your ftp. Then go your your website address which will take you through the installation process. If you do not have access to your server, then you will have to ask whoever does.
