Tim, I have a question....maybe you can answer....when I go to any rootsweb
ftp site to view files such as the Census project, the Archives....my ftp
program automatically opens as if I am going to use the ftp program to
upload files...how to I set my ftp program not to open/become operative when
I am using MS Explorer? The one I am using is Ftp Voyager which I just
purchased...I have looked in the help files and can't seem to find an
explanation to why the program opens anytime that I am using MS Explorer and
go to a page that has an ftp://ftp address....Gloria

Subject: [GAGEN] which is right?
In doing links checks in Georgia and elsewhere I'm getting
timeout errors
to files in the Archives -
ie:
ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/coweta/census/1880/mortcowe.txt
and sometimes - not found.
However, if I replace the ftp at the beginning with http:
http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/coweta/census/1880/mortcowe.txt
the file comes up without a problem.
Is the Archives changing the way the files are addressed?
What should the correct URL be?
Tim
