If you are using IE and the site is an ftp site then hit 'Page' and 'Open FTP site in Windows Explorer'!

Yep, that looks like an FTP site to me If you do as Geoffers says it should work ok - it does for sites that I use like that.

In Internet Explorer (not sure how to do it in FF), open the site and then go to File > "Open FTP site in Windows Explorer". If the file menu isn't there, press ALT and it will appear.

Yes, I agree, it sure does look like an FTP site although the address bar states https:

By the way, I never could get FTP working in Firefox. The protocol is somehow completed tied to IE.

You wont see it because ftp is not in the address!

Does it still appear OK in XP? There may be a temporary glitch.

If all else fails, have a word with your sysop.

I wonder if "Compatabilty View Settings" in "Tools" might help?
