Re: FTP vs MSIE

They could be keying their own address in the IE address bar instead of clicking on your link

ftp://www.company.com/temp

Or coming in from a shortcut on their desktop ...

iexplore.exe ftp://www.radile.com/temp

Subject: FTP vs MSIE

When I send someone a link to our ftp site in an email it's something like
ftp://ftp.somewhere.com/
You click on it and it fires up their browser as a ftp tool.

Scenario: I have multiple vendors using the same user id and password. I
use QIBM_QTMF_SVR_LOGON exit point to change their funny user id and
password to an i user id. They all use the same i user id. That i user
id has a default directory supplied. When they hit the
QIBM_QTMF_SERVER_REQ exit point some of them are coming up with / as their
current directory and some are coming in with the current directory
specified in their user profile.

Might there be a local browser setting that controls this?
