I use the following to list the files on my site: ftp://me@home.twcny.rr.com/ They contain directories. If I click one of the directories I get: Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage... Isn't there some way I can use IE to view my files? thanks |

I cut the address from IE so I know there is no typo but I get the message that the format is incorrect. What does work is after I click on a folder I get an error message but the address in IE has been updated. I insert username:password@ and that works. Thanks for your help - I knew about inserting username@ but didn't know how to include the password >> > >> > If Network Places isn't on the desktop...
