I've made a simple web page for one of my classes, and uploaded it to an Apache server on campus, from which I'm to view and take a screenshot of.
Before trying to view the page I created a sub-directory on the server to put my HTML file. Once the upload was complete, I changed the permissions on the file to -rwx---r-x and on the sub-directory folder to drwx---r-x.
However, I'm not able to view the page. I keep getting a message saying 403: Forbidden. You do not have sufficient privileges to view this site on this server.
Is there anything else that I need to do to the file and/or folder to be able to view the web page?
Who is the owner and the group of the file?
You probably need to change the file permissions to -rwxr--r-- and directory to drwxr-xr-x

I have a pdf link like www.xxx.org/content/a.pdf, and I know that there are many pdf files in www.xxx.org/content/ directory but I don't have the filename list. And When I access www.xxx.org/content/ using browser, it will redirect to www.xxx.org/home.html.
I tried to use wget like "wget -c -r -np -nd --accept=pdf -U NoSuchBrowser/1.0 www.xxx.org/content", but it returns nothing.
So does any know how to download or list all the files in www.xxx.org/content/ directory?
If the site www.xxx.org blocks the listing of files in HTACCESS, you can't do it.
Try to use File Transfer Protocol with FTP path you can download and access all the files from the server. Get the absolute path of of the same URL "www.xxx.org/content/" and create a small utility of ftp server and get the work done.

I'm new to creating webpages, so perhaps this is really easy and I just can't see it. I have a HTML/CSS template that I am modifying for a new site. When I check the index.html file locally (in Dreamweaver or in browsers) it appears correct. When I uploaded them to the server then the website does not load the images and it appears that the styles.css file is not loading correctly. I have attached a few screenshots to get the ball rolling. As always thanks for your assistance.

This is likely (later confirmed by asker in comment) a file and directory access right problem.
This can be verified by checking the access logs of the http server.
The solution is to update the ownership and permissions of any problem files so that the http server has rights to them. In this case, it is probably the easiest to examine the permissions of the index.html file and related folders and apply the same permission to the problematic files/folders.
I have a XenForo board and I want to put some files on the system, for everyone to see. So I created a directory and uploaded files. When I am trying to access it though I am getting a 403 error Forbidden error in the browser. How can I fix that?
Htaccess file and check if there is an access restriction for the folder where the files are located.
I need to link to a file on a Windows file share from a web page.
I have tried using this path:
//B-1152151154/shared/file.txt
...but it says permission denied.
Is it possible to do so, same like accessing a local drive file (C:/shared/file.txt)
i am creating a web page to show the contents of a folder so that people can view the files and download them if needed.
Click here to view Folder
But i wanna do this without any coding what so ever, i found this code which lets me view files.
The problem i am facing is that when i double click the html page and open it this hyperlink works and i get what i need but when i access the page through a server (IIS 7) then the hyperlink does nothing ?
am i to set some permissions or what ?
can someone tell me what im doing wrong ?
The link will work when the file you want to download is on your own personal computer, which in your case is true if you're just showing the HTML file locally. It won't be true for users visiting your website from another computer though.
If you want to serve the file on a server, you need to link to the path on the server itself, that is, if the file is in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\test_pages, your A HREF looks like this:
Click here to view Folder
Offcourse, this will work for simple files. For folders, you need to enable the webserver to show directory contents by enabling Directory Browsing.
There are security implications of linking to a local file from an online source. It works when the page is held locally but when on a server it puts a stop to it.
You can also use linux build-in command Tree, in example below you can see that i only want to add files that are matching .tar.gz or .zip or .tar.bz2
tree -P "*.tar.gz|*.zip|*.tar.bz2" -h -D --dirsfirst -r -H . > index.html;
You can also add a custom css to the page for a better looking output.
Straighforward and highly secure since the result is only html
as you use windows you can use www.cygwin.com to emulate a linux environement
