Hi there,
I am facing a curious problem. A have a HTML page which contains links to FTP files, e.g. ftp://my.server.net/dir1/dir2/file.pdf.
The access to the files is authorized via Active directory (IIS FTP server). I would expcet IE to display the logon window after I click the link, but it doesn't. It just says "page cannot be displayed". Which is strange, because the link is 100% correct.
However -- if I point the link to directory only, where the file is stored, e.g. ftp://my.server.net/dir1/dir2/, the logon window appears and the files are listed there correctly. That's what I want IE to do, but for the file.
To make things more complicated, in Firefox everything is OK.
Can anybody help and provide me with any trick to solve this weird IE behaviour?
Thanks,
Ivo
