Re: [IMail Forum] Time Out Period on Web Mail on Tuesday 7:00:10 PM
The context was a CGI on the web host that could spawn a FTP
request and session on an FTP port... then the DLL in IE would
see an FTP request and load. When I saw the FTP sessions on my
Imail server, then I thought perhaps this was what was happening.
I am sure there are potential security reasons why one might
want to do this so only a particular users files would be available
to only a particular user. I don't know what is going on, but I
was curious if this might be the methodology.

r> Yes, certainly, IE can act as an FTP client. It cannot do that from a

r> <form name="SendMail"
r> method="POST"
r> action="sendmail.<!--IMAIL.Number-->.cgi"
r> <!--IMAIL.BeginAttachmentSupport-->
r> enctype="multipart/form-data"
r> <!--IMAIL.EndBeginAttachmentSupport--> >
