I see, so you want to access remote FTP sites through the local web
browser. That's a different matter entirely than running FTP through a
web server.

If IE can't do it, and you don't want to use ftp.exe, then you have to
install some kind of FTP client anyway. And if that's the case, does it
have to be through a web browser? Mozilla might be able to do it this
way, but why not just use a free or shareware standalone FTP client?
