IE 7 ftp (permission?) issue

[jlockley]

Having recently upgraded to IE7 I discovered that I cannot gain full ftp access to my godaddy based account directly from the browser (ftp://

http://www.etc

etc > username, password,etc.)

I do gain read access, but can neither download nor upload files for revision, but see only the root file list.

I am able to access the full ftp from RUN (RUN IE chefspro@ftp://etc ). I guess that works, since I only use IE for FTP.

I have spoken with support who first opined it was the lack of a strong password (Alqueda figure they can topple the free world with a list of chefs' jobs? Please be my guest). Not the case. I am guessing it is permissions, but they seem to be sep appropriately.

By the way, I can't access my ftp account for update through Firefox, either. If I could, I'd get IE off the deaktop. Is there alternately any wisdom on getting it to function?

You can always go back to IE6.

The answer is "42"

FTP built into IE7 has changed behavior some. I could point you to a bunch of steps, but ultimately you'll end up at Windows Explorer. So with that in mind, just use Windows Explorer to begin with - open My Computer & in the address bar just type your ftp server address. Then (if not automatically prompted) File, Login As...

well, that's what worked so far. Thanks. Maybe IE6.
