    linking to content in vodahost folder

    I want to publish flash video to my subscription website (hosted elsewhere) but I want to have the flv video files located on my vodahost site. The flash player I have allows me to upload the html, xml, swf and jpg files to one site/folder and the large flv video file to another site/folder. What I'm not sure about is where I place the flv files in my vodahost ftp area (accessvet2.com) so they can be accessed correctly. When I try to place content (eg a jpg image) in a folder in my vodahost site, then try to access it using a browser, I get an error like this:

    Forbidden

    You don't have permission to access /public_html/misc_images/quote1.jpg on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    This example is for a jpg image stored at: http://www.accessvet2.com/public_html/misc_images/quote1.jpg.

    My questions:
    (1) What am I doing wrong?
    (2) Where should I upload content so it can be accessed externally (without errors like above) & what folder settings should be used?
    (3) What is the purpose of the public_html folder as opposed to the public_ftp folder?
    (4) Can't I just create a new folder (eg, accessvet2.com/new_folder/) and link to the content I place in it? Or is that not as secure?

    Any help gratefully received.

      You need to change the chmod on the directory. Try something like 755

      Also the address isn't going to be https://www.yoursite.com/public_html...lder/image.jpg

      it will be



      public_html is the system path that is equivalent to your primary domain name.

      Do you use a Password Protected Directory? Need a way to allow users to make their own account, try my .htaccess Login Script
