There are several tweaks you can make to IE 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:
- Click Tools | Internet Options.
- Click the Advanced tab.
- Under Browsing, check the box labeled Enable Folder View For FTP Sites
If you need to upload files to an FTP folder, you must use a special URL in the following format: ftp://End_user_name@ftp.mydomain.com/ANYdirectory/
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.
