FTP Access on IE 7 and 8
Quoting
“File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to exchange and manipulate files over a TCP/IP based network, such as the Internet. FTP is built on a client-server architecture and utilizes separate control and data connections between the client and server applications. Applications were originally interactive command-line tools with a standardized command syntax, but graphical user interfaces have been developed for all desktop operating systems in use today. FTP is also often used as an application component to automatically transfer files for program internal functions. FTP can be used with user-based password authentication or with anonymous user access.”
When using IE6 (Internet Explorer 6), FTP users can easily copy and paste files on the browser. They can either do the classic drag and drop or copy and paste. Unfortunately, all of that changes when IE7 and IE8 were released. The new version of the browser doesn’t display the usual folder icons on the page instead it gives you a list of the folders and files you have on your FTP Site. Below is a picture of what I mean.
With this method, it will be very incoventient for some non-technical users on uploading their files to their FTP Site. Little that everyone knows is that there is actually option on the browser that would allow you to browse your files just like Windows Explorer. All you have to do is click on the Page Option of your IE browser then click on Open FTP Site on Windows Explorer.
The moment you select that option, an Explorer window will open and from there you can start uploading your files on your FTP Site.
To change the user access of your FTP Site, you can easily right-clik anywhere on the window and select Login As as indicated on the screenshot below.
So there, you can now start uploading and download your files on your FTP Site.
