[Xitami] Use of Xitami FTP in a Browser.

[Bruce St. Clair]

First get new systems :P

But with IE on a NT kernal acts different than on a 9x machine.  I would
recommned using a program like wsftp for file transfers to the server
from any machine(NT based or 9x based).  The copy paste works but much
harder to get around with than a good ftp client software.  And if you
are using a lot of files IE can really mess up your day.=20

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=20
      Internet Explorer ADDRESS pane and the connection is=20
      made I can poke on the file in the Internet Explorer Browser=20
      Window and drag it to the desk top or any other folder. However,=20
      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=20
      made I am not succesfull in entering the correct ftp command=20
      syntax to the Internet Explorer ADDRESS pane to PUT, GET, etc. to=20
      the Xitami FTP Server. EXAMPLE:     ftp://put
c:\folder\filename.ext@URL

      However, using ftp from the DOS command language environment=20
      works, but in this situation ftp on the client is connecting=20
      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!!!!! :) :)
