How Can I View FTP Sites With IE7?
The term "FTP" is short for "file transfer protocol." It is a type of web service purely used to store files for downloading from the Internet to a computer. As opposed to regular websites that have text you can read, audio you can listen to or videos you can watch, FTP sites only list files that you can then save to your hard drive. If you want to view an FTP site with Internet Explorer 7, you only need to know the URL of the site in question.
