Hi,

I use Window-eyes and XP Pro.

I simply use native XP.

If you put the full FTP address into the address box it will then open up
the FTP site as something which looks like ordinary Windows Explorer. You
then simply use the standard <control>a, <control>c and <control>v to select
all, copy and paste what you want from or to your PC and the FTP site. Of
course you can, of course,  also do single selects and cuts as well. 

Just use Windows!

I find I have no issue with this at all.
 




Regards, John

sorry if I'm coming into this late but when I tried to use FTP Explorer both
at home and also at work after having moved across to XP, FTP Explorer
unfortunately became very flaky, hit and miss and pretty unusable. Dialogue
boxes for 'save as' or 'upload' simply didn't pop up when clicked on with
jaws.

Did anyone come up with a solution for this? I'm not the only person who had
this issue.

I have since bought Cute FTP version 5.0  (not the deluxe edition) and find
it fabulous.

>
> B. A password of your own choosing.
>
> C. A login username, which is likely to be of your own choosing.
