RSS FTP IE7

[kennedymr2]

I am experimenting with xml RSS, in setting up a Rss feed.

My Rss file is only a small one , to test all the functions
it is at the bottom of the page.

If i use Firefox ... both the http:// and the ftp:// work perfectly.

BUT in IE7 only the http:// work.. i am unable to click on the ftp://, they are disabled, but do display ...

I have had a pretty good look in the IE7 security , and cannot find what may be stopping the ftp://..

Would appreciate some advice as to how to get IE7 the allow ftp:// in the rss xml feed.

The machine does have ca associate anti virus...???maybe this is the problem, but Firefox seems ok..????

tsuji ...

Thanks for the link...

I have checked my settings and they seem to be ok..

Have had a good look.. and can see no more settings that may work..but i suppose in the long run.. if i have several clients needing access, i really cannot ask them to go into settings and alter their ie7 options. I really just need it to work first up.

In this case, I only have one client needing to access.. so i have asked them to use Firefox.

Thanks again for the help offered.
