Can't access the file hosted no IPFS

[Aashim-Limbu]

i have files uploaded in IPFS node . i have the CID of it but i can't access the file from browser.

Even though i try it in brave [Before pressing enter]

After pressing Enter

Also i see that IPFS companion is offline i guess

even though i have the IPFS desktop running

Hello @Aashim-Limbu, use this https://ipfs.io/ipfs/${YOUR_CID} and let's see if it will help.

@EngrPips yes it works but why ipfs:// isn't working? .Why do we need to use https:// instead of ipfs:// .since by using this we're making a request from server to ipfs node. isn't it ?

@EngrPips can you show the ipfs companion when it is online . 😂😂. I'm curious to see how will it look.

Oh so ipfs:// protocol works for you isn't it .Otherwise i also have the same .

[EngrPips]

Yeah, it does work for me, I have IPFS Desktop installed on my Mac though.

@EngrPips also i would love to ask you a question.
Let's say i have deployed a contract in sepolia and clear out the terminal without taking note . how do i search that contract in etherscan.how do i get the contract address .Or should i re-deploy it to get the address (That's the only way) .🤔

[EngrPips]

If you had deployed using Foundry, then you should be able to find the contract address in the broadcast folder, You don't have to deploy a new contract.
