I have been trying to figure out how to open an FTP link to Windows Explorer not the Internet explorer. So I can just give clients the address and it will open the Link in an Windows Explorer screen. So they can add files to the FTP server. Because if you just use the Internet explorer you can't add files. Just download them.

Is there away to accomplish this with out messing with the clients computers?

Thanks

It seems to you can't.
Almost for sure you cant do that form browser other than IE, but still i don't know how to do that in IE :)

Simplest solution is:
let user to download and execure .bat file (not working on Vista, but ok on XP)
the bat file source looks like:

explorer.exe ftp://login:password@domain.com

make sure, that no unprivilages person will can access to that file :)
