Firefox, IE6 and ftp drag and drop uploads

[Guest]

There are two reports that installation of Firefox disables the drag/drop of
files/folders to an upload ftp site opened in IE6. Go see:

but firefox is not connected to ie.
firefox can be run out of your download folder, or even the
usb drive,without need to install by using a zip file.

Go to IE tools, internet options, security. Highlight 'internet zone' and
click on the 'custom level' button. Scroll down to the drag and drop option
and make sure it is enabled.


This feature may have been disabled in reaction to a known security
vulnerability in IE wherein a hostile web page may download software onto
your computer when a user drags a scroll bar (the mouse cursor icon changes
when this vulnerabilty triggers, which is a good visual clue).
