Cannot Connect to FTP via IE7 (but can via Firefox)
Any help with this problem would be much appreciated as it is "doing my head
in". 1 - I am running Vista Business. 2 - I have never been able to connect to FTP servers via IE7/Windows Explorer. 3 - I can connect without a problem using FireFox. The IE connection diagnostics simply tells me that the host may be down. The problem persists whether the firewall is on or off. The problem persists whether the "Enable FTP folder view" option in IE settings-advanced is checked our unchecked. Thanks in advance, Mark

Worked fine for me on both. The site I used to test was: ftp:\\sunsite.unc.edu -- Jay. (remove dashes for legal email address)

Jay,
Are you saying that you have previously had a problem connecting to FTP via IE7 - and that it now works? If so, what was the solution for you?

No previous problem -- it has worked from the first time I tried it.

Jay,
I'm very pleased that it's all working for you. Now would you mind not reporting such pointless information so that the forum can remain clear of clutter and remain focussed on providing solutions to people's problems.

It was not "pointless information". The first post was to inform the OP that not everyone had the problem, and the second post was to answer an explicit question. YouR post certainly provided no useful information to anyone, and was definitely unsolicited. PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH!
