Filezilla - IE access?

[ColemontHD]

Hey gang. I finally got my ftp server up. Without using an ftp client program, can I access my ftp server via IE? If so, how? The server is setup through Filezilla. Thank you in advance!

 

[nweaver]

in the address bar type "ftp://server.address" and it should work

I have found IE support to be somewhat a pain....I much prefer the command line stuff

In IE6, it was pretty simple to access FTP sites (for occasional use). However, in IE7 suddenly this simple task has become a problem, and one of the workarounds appears to be to add the ftp site to Network Places using Windows Explorer. Open Explorer - Click on Network Places - in the right pane click on Add Network - wait - Next on the Network Place Wizard - Select Another Network Location - Type the address of the ftp site - user name etc.

Do I need to enter in the port as well?

Ok, so I tried ftp://myipaddy and I could tell it would go. I run IE7 so, I did the Open FTP in Windows Explorer thing. It would go, but then would give me an error saying that it timed out. I am monitoring the FTP server via UltraVNC and I can see the activity. Any ideas?

 

[nweaver]

cmd.exe
ftp sitenameorip
