Hi all, I've just posted this as a reply to another post but thought it deserved it's own post!
I know I'm not alone when I say FTP in IE8 was rubbish! I enver could find a way, even with turning on all of the ftp view etc in Advanced Internet Options to get a Windows Explorer interface so I could drag and drop files to my ftp site, like I used to in IE6 (and maybe or maybe not IE7, can't remember!)
I've recently sarted using IE9 and found the following
1) Connect to your ftp site ftp://yoursite.com
2) Authenticate
3) Hit "Alt" to get the old File menu back
4) Click View > Open FTP site in Windows explorer
5) Authenticate again
You're in!
Happy dragging and dropping!
