[Xitami] Use of Xitami FTP in a Browser.

[xitami@lists.xitami.org]

OK Marc and corwin,


Thanks for the Replies :) :)

The systems in question are W95 and W98 and no ADDRESS bar seeems to be available for Windows Explorer. At least I cannot find one plus, as mentioned ---- ",,,only for W2K and WXP,,,".

And, the Forwarding of port 21 on the ROUTER to the Xitami machine gave some added ability.

DRAG/DROP after the connection is made:

      When ftp://USERNAME:PASSWORD@URL is entered in the 
      Internet Explorer ADDRESS pane and the connection is 
      made I can poke on the file in the Internet Explorer Browser 
      Window and drag it to the desk top or any other folder. However, 
      this creates only a SHORTCUT to that file at the Xitami FTP Server.

FTP commands to the Internet Explorer ADDRESS pane:

      Please forgive my loss of memory, but after the connection is 
      made I am not succesfull in entering the correct ftp command 
      syntax to the Internet Explorer ADDRESS pane to PUT, GET, etc. to 
      the Xitami FTP Server. EXAMPLE:     ftp://put c:\folder\filename.ext@URL

      However, using ftp from the DOS command language environment 
      works, but in this situation ftp on the client is connecting 
      to ftp at the server and the client side stays up and running.

For the Internet Explorer it could be the client side is missing something?????
Or, maybe it's the ACCESS RIGHTS thing but there are no passwords set to the shared folder on the Xitami FTP SERVER machine, and the * is set in the Xitami FTP username area to allow all Xitami FTP commands.

For the Internet Explorer ADDRESS pane, no luck to find the proper command string for Xitami FTP PUT, GET, etc. in the Xitami documents. Also, used the FAQ and the Email forum history and cannot find anything related. Maybe I am not using the correct keywords.

THANKS for your help, time, and advise!!!!! :) :)

Jerry
