Yeah, that's what I thought too. The GF suspected otherwise for IE7
and confirmed it by asking that nice Mr Google person
Ok, that's OT, but it's not that difficult. They just moved the ftp
functionality from Internet explorer to Windows explorer (yes, many
people are not even aware of the difference). When you open a FTP site
with ie7, it just shows you a basic interface with hyperlinks but no
ability to copy/paste or drag/drop stuff (just like basic FF). But,
there is a line at top of the page that clearly says:
"To view this FTP site in Windows Explorer, click Page, and then click
Open FTP Site in Windows Explorer."
No, they just REMOVED any extended functionality from IE. Windows
Explorer has ALWAYS done FTP natively (or at least since 2000).
Stroller.
