Are you doing this from a command prompt or from "start-run"? If so, instead of just using the URL "ftp://xxxx"; pre-pend the path to the ws_ftp executable. This will open ws_ftp pro directly and avoid the Internet Explorer issues you are encountering.
For example, "C:\Program Files\WS_FTP Pro\wsftppro.exe" ftp://userid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/foldername/subfoldername -----Original Message----- From: Kathy Zhou [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 4:19 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [WS_FTP Forum] FTP URL - how to use ws_ftp with Internet Explorer I need your help on how to use ws_ftp with Internet Explorer 5.0 above. URL I am using to open the ws_ftp 8.0 is "ftp://userid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/foldername/subfoldername" Then I get an pop up dialog box of "WS_FTP Pro File Download", then another pop up dialog box shows right after the first one, which is saying "The specified URL appears to be a directory not file, Would you like to start WS_FTP Pro to view the directory?". After I click "yes", then I get the WS_FTP Pro window that is what I need. What is the correct FTP URL I should use, so that I could avoid these two massage dialog boxes and have WS_FTP pro window right after I click the URL? We are evaluating the FTP software now. The feature I mentioned here is very important for us. We do not want these annoying boxes pup up each time when the users click the link on our site. The link is used for users to upload their files to our FTP server. Thanks for your help. Kathy Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
