Hi Richard, I bailed on Microsoft client tools. That can't seem to get
things working right.
I have used ws_ftp for download / upload needs from behind my ISA server.
Works great, maybe the support guys should look into ws_ftp and see how they
can modify IE .
Or maybe they can just by-out that company too.
Sorry , my Microsoft rank for the day :-)
Give a lesser ftp program a try, they work better that IE.
regards,
Mark
