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,
