Modify FTP default Internet Explorer page - iis

I am trying to find the default page of the FTP webpage, as the one shown in
below:
How I can modify this page, or which HTML file / or FTP attribute I should change to get my needs?
Another thing, how I can add a link to that page to allow users to upload or add users, such that the users will not be created as a local computer users?
Can that happen? If yes could you guide me to the required tips that I should follow?
Thank you all in advance!

The page is not coming from the FTP server. It's just how the Internet Explorer renders the FTP directory listing.
You cannot change it server-side.
If you open the same ftp:// URL in another browser (Firefox, Chrome, ...), you will see a different "page".
You would have to implement a web application with your desired custom layout that does the FTP behind the scenes.

Opening a read only URL with password

New to Web site dev, though have done a lot of coding of other sorts in the past, just set up a personal blog for my own amusement on bluehost using wordpress and have it installed locally for dev.
I have a training log on another site which anyone can open read-only to view training stats with a URL of the form below, this works fine in a browser:
https://www.othersite.com/logs/1234xyz/authenticate?password=thisismypassword
What I have tried to do unsuccessfully is have this open in a frame on one of my web pages (used iframe/object in html). It seems impossible to do this as the authentication string is not passed across, and the screen displayed prompts for manual input of the password. Can I open this automatically in some way?
If I understood well, your solution is insecure regardless it works or not. In this way your clients can see the password of your (or another) site.
I suggest to query the external content using custom php code and display (print) it on your page.
There are several ways to get content of an external page:

Failed to load in Storage Browser

I uploaded some files into Google Cloud Storage. Now, I would like to view the data in the Google Developer Console under Storage->Cloud Storage->Storage Browser by clicking on the created subfolder. Although having the status Is owner in Project_Name->Permissions I get the error message Failed to load (see attched picture). A collague of mine - having also the permission Is owner - has full access via the browser interface.
So, what do I have to additionally change in order to gain access via the web interface?
I've seen issue like this when having multiple users in a single Chrome Browser. You can manage multiple users on Chrome to avoid possible conflicts, visit the link provided to guide you on how to do this..
Open an incognito window in Chrome and see if the problem persists. If so, like in my case, you can resolve by only having one user logged in to Chrome.

permanently keep a edited website, locally

I would like to keep a copy of a website, which I have edited saved locally to my machine, but so when I type in the url it comes up as the webpage I edited. It is not my website, I don't have access to the server but I would like my own edited copy of the website. Something like greasemoneky but which is easier to setup and use but also able to be able to sync with chrome if possible.
Thanks in Advance
Add an entry in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file so that the URL redirects to your own computer?
127.0.0.1 www.google.com
Then you have to have a webserver installed with the local page bound to the url.
I'm not sure what you're intending to use this for. Hopefully not anything shady.
To redirect any website url on your local machine you could set up parental controls.
There's plenty of ways to do it and it depends on your browser/operating system/modem.
You can locally redirect files via your computer's local hostfile.

If you really want to get serious about it, then you could set up a little local DNS hijack with a service like OpenDNS. An even more extreme option would be something like DNSMASQ http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html.
After you finish editing the website,press ctrl+s and that will save a copy of the website.

Lauch external program in firefox or chrome

We have a custom web app in our intranet that allow users to browse and search our shared file system in a way more appropriate for our organization. as compared to windows explorer/mac finder. However, when the users click on, for example, a link pointing to a word document the document is downloaded by the browser and then opened. I am trying to provide a better way, namely that the file is opened directly from the shared folder that each user has mapped in his own computer. This will make things faster and will not pollute the browser download folder.
I was planning to create a chrome or firefox extension that recognizes certain css class attached to a link, remaps the link to the shared file system and and launch an external process. Any idea how to achieve this? Is there a better solution?
If you want the URL to be handled by a custom program you could create special URLs using a custom Protocol (ex: MyApp:// instead of http://) and then register that protocol to be opened via a custom program. The links would only work on computers that have your program installed and where the protocol has been registered to be handled by your application.

How to automate IE/Firefox to download some files from a https: website with Javascript links?

Some of my users download several pdf files from an internet website regularly. They'd like to automate the process to save a few minutes every day, and most importantly, to minimize errors.
I tried mechanize but failed as mechanize does not process javascripts. Since the download links in the remote site are all triggered by javescript, I am looking for solutions to automate the browser itself. Any recommendations?
https remote server
login and search are FORM POST
file download link are JavaScripts
on win32
IE or Firefox
thanks!
You need some kind of extension, such as an ActiveX or java applet. It would be a security venerability if a web site can force the browser to download file without the user's consent.
I picked Watir.
