Tweaks You Can Make To Internet Explorer That Will Make It More FTP-friendly.

There are several tweaks you can make to Internet Explorer that will make it more FTP-friendly. First, you can set up IE so that it can browse FTP directories, just as if they were folders in Windows Explorer:

1. Click Tools | Internet Options.

2. Click the Advanced tab.

3. Under Browsing, check the box labeled Enable Folder View For FTP Sites.

Next, if you're on a computer that's behind a firewall, you'll need to set up IE to use passive FTP:

1. Click Tools | Internet Options.

2. Click the Advanced tab.

3. Under Browsing, check the box labeled Use Passive FTP.

If you need to upload files to an FTP folder, you must use a special URL in the following format:

ftp://username@ftp.domain.com/directory/

This will result in the user being prompted for a password. Once the user supplies the password, a directory comes up, and the user can drag and drop files to and from the FTP window.
