windows explorer ssl/tls ftp problem

[blasto]

Hi,

I couldn't learn from microsoft wether windows explorer supports secure ftp connections or not.. a regular client can connect to a secure ftp site but explorer can not.. do you have any ideas? thanks

Have you enabled FTP Folder View?

Explorer doesn't support (with IE6 at least) SSL or TLS FTP connection. In fact it only support FTP protocol and no support for any of FTPS, FTP+TLS, SSL+FTP, FTP over SSL.

shame.. this is really annoying; passwords are floating in the air with wifi and ms is still pushing us to use third party software for such fundamental tasks.. we even hesitate to use ie+oe since "protected storage" is revealed out with a 25kb app.
