How to FTP in a browser


Problem:

I need to FTP to my account using a browser.



Solution:

Plusmail:
In order to connect to FTP via a browser, you first need to open a browser that supports FTP connections and type in the addressbar ftp://domainname.com/directory/ where domainname.com is your domain name and "directory" is the particular directory you want to upload/download files from. A windows pop up, prompting for user name and password should pop up. If an error pops up, please click on the Windows FTP error and then click on 'File' up top and then 'Login As'. Enter you ftp login information and hit 'Log On'. Simply drag the file from the FTP window to a space on your desktop to download and drag a file from your desktop to the FTP window to upload. If you have trouble, please make sure that you have Passive FTP enabled in the browser advanced settings and also make sure that you have enough disc space.

Enism:
Follow the instructions above, however, use ftp://domain.com/mainwebsite_html in the browser instead.
