Ok, i figured out how to get rid of the ugly page, or i should say why it was going there in the first place. i mistakenly typed the link to the directory and not to a page in the directory.

Now i've added another file, .rtf file, to the mix; i uploaded it in file manager to the protected directory and linked it http://www.njcaptions.com/seminarfil...tlog111108.rtf as such, but it's saying file not located on server. I see the file there both in file manager and in FTP Manager. I thought maybe it was because originally the file was named ChatLog etc. so i changed the name to lowercase. same result. I have linked many files on my site and never had any problems. Incidentally, i tried putting the file in my public folder and it worked fine. So what is it about this password protected folder that i'm missing?

also, when it's in the public folder, internet explorer asks if you want to download it or save it. that's what i want to happen in the seminarfiles (password protected) directory, but with the .wmv file, it will only open it and play it; you can't right click and save it and you don't get a download dialogue box. anyone know why?

Thanks.
