FTP acces problems with IE

[Martin Vaupell]

Trying to upload some files using IE which howewer proves
a though task, alternatly im using a 3rd party program for it.
But im sure thats not intended.

The problem is i open a ftp site, and logon,
It shows AS a HTML site, well i can browse the site and such
and i can download. but i cannot add my files as i could on XP.

How want it, is to open a ftp site AS a folder style.
so i can drag/drop objects between the folders

If IE7+ cant handle this, can someone advise/refer me to a browser
with such abilities.

Martin,

IE 7 doesn't support FTP folder browsing.

You have to use Explorer to accomplish this now.

Open Windows Explore and enter the FTP site name in the address bar.

This should give you the folder browsing again and allow you to upload
files.

Ok any tips on how i do that,, back on windows xp, i would open
my computer or any other folder and simply enter the ftp-url

But when i do that here on vista, it pops up internet explore automatic
and goes to requested ftp-url.

So im haveing some troubles setting the settings for explore ? vs internet
explore.

Kind regards

Are you clicking on a link to an FTP site?
If you are, it will open up IE
If this happens, click on the 'Page' button and select 'Open FTP site in
Windows Explorer'

If this option is not available, click on Tools, Internet Options
Click on Advanced
Under Browsing, make sure Enable FTP folder view (Outside of Internet
Explorer) is checked.

It worked,, Ftp browsing is enabled again.
and set up a few sites, as remote drives in "my computer" its awsome.

Tx..

Good weekend
