Since this is the only directory you are allowed to upload files into, there's no need to show it to you. 2) There's absolutely no way to get into any account via the File Manager without entering a userid and password in the 'login' screen. 3) If you've logged in previously, your browser retains its previous login until the browser is shut down. That means *ALL* instances of the browser have been shut down. 4) If you checked the 'remember my password' box when you logged in, the userid & password are retained in your browser until you explicitly click on the 'Log Out' option at the top of the page. If these don't address your problem, how about posting a few more details -- what's the account/URL on the homepages server, what URL for the File Manager are you using, exact sequence of input and responses. There's lots of talented folks on the list who can help you sort stuff out.

I bookmarked http://homepages.rootsweb.com/fileman/file_manager.cgi where I uploaded the homepage. When the above is opened, my files are there without a login box. Is this only showing on my computer? If I click the 'Log Out' then the password has to be reentered each time. My url: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~barney Have no problems accessing the webpage. Sent url to websites@rootsweb for addition to the Guest Pages Index. What is the procedure for Surname Websites listings? Cannot find the site listed.
