IIS and FTP

Using IIS as an FTP server is annoying.  Having issues with people using IE to just download a file.  Firefox works a little better- at least you can authenticate, just can’t view anything.  Filezilla works beautifully- no problems.

So, how do you get your browsers to work?  Easy:  Include the login and password in the URL, like this:

ftp://username:password@ftpsite.com

There you go!  Works like a charm.  Of course, insecure as all get out, but what do you expect from IIS?

My plan is to scrap IIS and use Filezilla server.  I already know my boss won’t approve of Linux.
