To create a shortcut to open an FTP site in Windows Explorer Here's how to create a shortcut to an FTP site so that the site will automatically open in Windows Explorer: If you just want to open FTP sites and download files from them, you can use Internet Explorer. If you want to upload files, delete files, or rearrange the folder structure on an FTP site, you need to open the site in Windows Explorer. One caveat, you cannot use an "at-sign" or a colon as part of the user's password, obviously because it's what's denoting/separating the user's credentials from the FTP URL. Mind you, the FTP administrator HAS to know how to configure the permissions on the FTP site, but this works like a charm. That opens the FTP site, using Windows explorer (NOT IE!) and you can cut/paste all day long. The username is passed along separated by a colon where the ftp-site-user password gets passed, finally the 'at-sign' tells it which FTP server by sub/domain-name.)
Followed by the the FTP site's URL settings. %windir%\explorer (space) it down as best I can, %windir% is system environment variable for the "Windows" folder, whether it be XP/7/8 and 'explorer' is the default shell for any version of windows. (You can also paste the line below directly into the 'run' box.) It's actually quite a bit more simple than the above situations.Ĭreate a shortcut on your desktop, and for the properties, use this:
