HELP with an FTP problem...

[jwells777]

Tried posting this in the software forum and got no response. Does anyone know how to connect to an FTP site that only accepts secure SSL connections using IE? My university has insisted on making all of our accounts secure. If not using IE, is there any other product that is equally seemless with windows explorer for this task?

Thanks,

J

EDIT: yeah...I meant SSL, not SLL.

Are you trying to FTP through internet explorer or are you using a FTP program?

 

[dighn]

do you mean ssl?

FlashFXP has always been great to me,

FlashFXP : Features

Says that it allows SSL connections, so I'd assume this is what you're looking for.

In the past I always just typed "ftp://username@ftpserver.edu" in an windows explorer window and let windows handle the FTP issues (i.e. no specific FTP client). This was really nice because it allowed me to use my university account as a virtual floppy since almost every computer with a connection could access this account. Now, I can't seem to do it. I would think that MS Windows would have thought to add a way to connect to a secure ftp server and I just don't know how to do it, but maybe not.
