Evening all,
I am having some difficulty with displaying my FTP connection content on a page with HTTPS encryption. It works on standard HTTP but not HTTPS. I am running Apache web server. I'm not fussed about the user being able to see the FTP details just want to secure the connection between both ends though.
Would FTPS on HTTPS work?
Regards
ftp:// does work on https websites, although by default its blocked by the "Mixed Content Blocking"
In firefox you can disable this protection by doing what the picture describes:
For IE:
ftp:// does not work because of mixed content (e.g. secure https and non-secure ftp).
ftps:// will not work because most browsers do not support it and maybe your ftp server doesn't even speak ftps.
And, how about just testing it before asking, it is not that hard to replace that ftp:// with ftps:// in your page, isn't it?

I have a wordpress website using free hosting of Open Shift. When I search goole for my website name. I received a result that contain https ssl. But when I click this links google chrome will go to:
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from phamquan.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
This server could not prove that it is phamquan.com; its security certificate is from *.rhcloud.com. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection.
Because my website doesn't have ssl cerification. How can i disallow google index all links of my website as https. Only allow http links.
The only way to prevent Google from indexing the HTTPS version of the site is to stop listening to HTTPS. The main problem here is that your webserver is currently listening to HTTPS requests, although your website is not configured to deliver a valid certificate.
If you can't access the server configuration, another approach described here and here is to use the canonical link tag to link to the HTTP version of the site as a hint that the correct version is the HTTP and not the HTTPS.
I have one wordpress website, in that am getting lot of errors day by day. So I like to change my normal HTTP to HTTPS. So please can you explain it is very useful and secure for my website.
If your website does not have https in the web link this means that you do not have installed SSL. Most of the modern web browsers treat any website without SSL installed as insecure. This may be one of the reasons for your website's issues.
I found the following answers to the question of the difference between HTTP and HTTPS.

To know about the reasons for using SSL follow the link given below:
Reasons for using SSL

http is an unencrypted protocol for sending and retrieving data from servers in a web browser (among other uses). https is the same protocol but wrapper in SSL, a security tool that encrypts communications between the browser and server. This is what what banks and other websites use to ensure your data (like financial info) is protected when sent to your browser and cannot be read by someone on the same network.

Is there any possibility to send HTTP headers on an ftp:// URL? How would I go about it?
What I want is HTTP based crawlers to see an HTML Response (in the headers) while human users see the pure FTP Content.
What would be the smartest way of solving this problem? I thought about user agent specific redirection, however this seems to be against most search engine's guidelines.
What I want is for bots to index an HTTP version of the content, while normal users can get access to the FTP version, all while using a single ftp:// URL.
Is this doable?
It's NOT doable.
You cannot redirect ftp:// URL to http:// URL. The FTP protocol has no redirects. FTP protocol does not even know what URL is. Nor does a web browser (acting as an FTP client) send "user agent" or anything similar to the FTP server.
There are also no headers in FTP protocol (but that's just a technicality, comparing to the fact above).
FTP protocol is completely different to HTTP.
You are obviously confused by the web browsers (all of them) presenting an FTP resource the same way as an HTTP resource. But it's just a "game" by the browsers. They are nowhere near similar.
Note that FTP was invented eons before Internet, HTTP, web and URLs.
Though note that you may be able to do it the other way around. You should be able to redirect HTTP to FTP.
But I still do not think it's a good idea. If the clients need FTP, they probably want to use a real FTP client, not a web browser. And a real FTP client won't understand HTTP (redirects).
But this question is kind of meaningless, now that all major web browsers are gradually removing a support for FTP anyway.
Sorry for this stupid question but
Can someone suggest why the following website is displaying differently in http and https? Here are the two links
https://www.sportengland.org/careers/jobs-at-sport-england/
http://www.sportengland.org/careers/jobs-at-sport-england/
the content is not displaying properly in http website is iFrame content.
Basically, the HTTP or HTTPS protocol will not effect the format of the page.
It might be because they have hosted the site in two hosting one with SSL (HTTPS) and another with non SSL (HTTP).
And there could be chance that they updated one application and not done the same changes in another.
I want to disable https and want to access a site by http (for experimental purposes).I am using firefox on ubuntu 12.4. I tried by disabling SSL in browser.But then i am not able to access sites with https.
How can i do this?
Some sites, require using https (SSL) for accessing them. The site you try to access would probably redirect you to https (SSL), even if you decide to use http. In that case, you cannot disable the SSL use from your browser, because it is a demand from your target site.
Hope I helped...
