ftp - Computer help and technical support at WBHelp.com

There must be something wrong with my IE browser.
I am using Win98 with IE 6.0.
I have tried to access the FTP of my friend, Jenny; but the browser just said the web page can't be accessed or requested!
I, then, asked her not to set any UserID and Password, but the problem's still there!
As a result, I have to use a third party software, CuteFTP to access the FTP.

It used to be OK for any FTP I tried to access, but now all FTPs become
non-accessible!

Please help if you can!

I've never used IE for FTP, after trying it once or twice and having it completely crash Windows.

Is it a problem using the real FTP clients you mentioned?

i could not even get my moms ftp on the same local area last nighit! Have not tryed today it was working the day before that... does Jenny have the port open? *most of the time it is 21*

If it works via FTP program over port 21, it would also work for IE, no?
This is an IE problem, or the server(s) itself. Find out if the server allows anonymous FTP. If it doesn't that might be the cause (unless of course the FTP cleint is using anon as well).

Kwokwai. you might find this useful, as it describes how to change the "mode" from PORT to PASV, which might just fix this.

I suppose it says this in the link but i haveint looked yet but make sure pasiv is turened on an set to 2000 to 2010 and open ports really that sould help as well .

I was sorry that I had made a mistake for what I said!

It should be that I couldn't see this option in IE setting: "Enable Folder View for FTP sites"!
