Ok, so I made a website and one of the pages has a video that I dragged into iWeb.. the video was subsequently uploaded into my idisk. I now find that when someone goes to view this page, they're promoted to give a user name and password for the idisk in order to view this video. Is there a way I can fix that?

thanks

Is this meant to be an embedded video viewed on the web page or a video that you need to download? If it's embedded, you shouldn't be running into this unless you've password protected your web site. If it's meant to be downloaded, you should put it in the public folder on your iDisk and link there.

it is not intended for download, just viewing.. I simply dragged and dropped the video into iWeb so I'm not sure how it was registered with the server, but I do know that I have a password protection on the website right now while I am developing it, but the password and user name on the website are one thing, and the password and user name on my idisk are another... should this be? My concern is that later, when I remove password protection on the website, a person surfing into it will be prompted to enter my idisk user name and pw. See what I mean?

thanks
