I created an FTP server on my computer and it works. I know i can use WS_FTP pro as, but I want to be able to use a browser so it is easier for my friends to use. When i use internet explorer from home the ftp server page loads and looks like a windows directory structure, which i can just drag and drop files into it. But when I use it from work, then the versions of explorer and mozilla just show a list of files and I am not sure how to upload files onto the server. Can someone tell me if there is an option to configure IE or Mozilla to show the ftp server as a windows structure, or how to upload files onto the ftp server when it displays a listing of files? Thanks.

Not sure about Mozilla; but with IE, you can use the menu Tools>>Internet Options, and go to the Advanced tab. Under the Browsing section, there should be a radio button that reads "Enable folder view for FTP sites"; this should allow drag and drop functions to IE.
