    Since I installed IE7 I can't ftp via browser, which is strange. Passive ftp is on BTW.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Might be a bad install - try uninstalling, restarting your computer, reinstalling, then resetting your computer again and see if it works. ;)

    hmm, I have IE7, and continue to use FTP without 3rd party software.
    How To:
    1. Open My Documents or similar folder
    2. type; ftp.yoursite.com
    3. click file: Login As
    4. Enter your details
    5. viola!

    There is a message somewhere that tells you what to do. You must go to the FTP URL on IE 7 - then click on one of the icons on the right hand side (PAGE I think but it may be TOOLS), and it will give you the option to open the FTP in Windows Explorer.

    Thanks guys!

    I'll try and play around a bit before reinstalling, that would be a pain!

    I couldn't find that, but guess what? It works now!

    I have no idea why it wouldn't earlier on, but it does now so hopefully it'll be ok. I guess it's just one of those things...


    Thanks again to all, very nice of you!

    :D
