when im copying the file link to the browser it ask for username & password.

Well, yes, if you are accessing the files via the file transfer protocol (ftp://), of course you need to input a user name and password, just as you would with any FTP client (like Filezilla). If you want to view/download the files in your browser without entering a password you need the hypertext transfer protocol (http://).

When you move the file via FTP it will ask you for a user/password. The process you use (protocol) is FTP://.....

If you moved a file to my_web you would access it with http://my_web/my_image.jpg assuming isn't not a secured (https) server.

It's a standard case. To reach your FTP server through browser you need to be authorized.

i can move it to the site folder and see the file but i prefer to kip the files in the ftp folder.

how can i change my protocol from ftp: to http: without relocate the files?

You simply use http as your protocol instead of ftp.
That assumes that the files moved via FTP are available to be served from a published directory such as public_html. If they are above the public_html or www or whatever published directory, you cannot use http to access them.
