submix8c Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) About KB905495 (which you didn't install because you insisted on the IE6 No-SP version).https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/ms05-044"Non-Affected Software: Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition (SE), and Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (ME)"You might also look at this.http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/62633-you-like-to-install-updates-from-original-installation-files/page-2 IOW, the *recommended" *newer* one (for IE6SP1) was never issued by MS, but was "created" using "official" (e.g. XP-SP1) files. So, if you so desire to *not* install the "Unofficial" it's up to you. *However* the sole purpose of them is to get you up-to-date BEYOND what MS was willing to give. Kind of like getting XP-Embedded updates for XP-SP3 EOL. *BE AWARE* that *many* Unofficial (maybe most) are what's called "BACK PORT" Updates (using newer OS files in an older OS). Don't ssuppose you noticed where so many Unofficial ones are located (hint - MDGx website)? Have fun stumbling through your glitches. You see, here on MSFN... Been there, done that, hence the SP's and AutoPatcher. Edited December 23, 2015 by submix8c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Since this problem is known to exist in IE6 why wait until it does happen when there is a cure? Preventative medicine. Sure .But the problem (which is anyway EXTREMELY rare) would not exist and the cure wouldn't be needed at all, if you use the "right" approach which is "use a FTP client for FTP access".Pre-preventative medicine. jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This symptom only occurs on an FTP server that does not allow anonymouslogons.CAUSEAfter the first logon, a new logon attempt is made when you connect to another folder. Because Internet Explorer does notkeep the password, a blank password is sent, and a logon that is not valid is recorded. If an account is set to lock outafter three failed logons, the account is locked out when you go five levels deep in the folder structure. So I would agree that it's EXTREMELY rare. And it's similar to the problem of accessing a file 8 folders deep on a CD. So what do you suggest for a FTP client keeping in mind that I would like it to be compatible with 98SE, ME & XP (if that's possible)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencorso Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Ipswitch's WS-FTP LE, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drugwash Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 FlashGet (1.9.6) can navigate/download FTP, Total Commander has a built-in FTP client… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submix8c Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 And Flashget can be set as the Default Downloader within Internet Explorer.Also within Firefox with the FlashGot Add-On (not sure about older 98SE-compatible versions of FF without KeX).

justacruzr2 Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 @ jaclaz, dencorso, Drugwash et alThanks for your suggestions. It's funny because just after I replied to jaclaz's post I remembered that I do have a ftp program and it's the one that dencorso mentioned. I have WS_ftp LE 6 installed on all 3 of my systems. I used it to transfer files back and forth between my mainframe PDS and my PC. I had forgotten that I had it because I haven't used it for a couple of years now. And it never occurred to me to use it for ftp sites with my PC. Also have QWS3270 which emulates an IBM 3270 terminal for TSO sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submix8c Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Congratulations! You just confused 99% of the MSFN user community. Folks, unless you're running Mainframe IBM DOS/VSE-AF or IBM OS/VS-MVS (and their newer versions) don't bother asking for the aforementioned non-HomeComputer software. Pretty sure nobody here has an Amdahl sitting in their basement. Old Skool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rloew Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Count me in the 1%. No Amdahls in the basement though. Too damp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFYI, personally I am fond of good ol' LeechFTP, as it is simple and straightforward:http://www.leechftp.de/http://www.leechftp.de/download.htmDon't worry the program is in English, besides German, and it is "inherently portable". jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROBLEMCHYLD Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Or, one can use the MSIEFTP.DLL 5.50.4956.500 if wanting to avoid 3rd party apps 1. Click Cancel on the first screen/popup/error etc..... 2. Click File and Login As.... and you should be able to surf without the 3rd party apps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
