My Host & FTP

furca · Sep 4, 2005

I was trying to access FTP via IE today, and it wouldn't work. Strange.. it had in the past, several times.... mhmmm, so I emailed them and they said

"Ah... we generally disallow IE to access via FTP... it doesn't work so well. Why do you have to upload it via IE? "

Reason is my FTP client can't handle what im uploading for some reason, so i normally upload this file using IE FTP, and have done it before with this same company. Why do they say this?

Is this BS? Any ideas?

I was about to ask the same question, because not many people do that. By the way, what are you uploading that your FTP client can't handle?

ya, usually if it doesnt work to enter it in through the forum in IE, that form usually works, its a bit more manual and not as secure, but it woks.
