How to open ftp link from website in Windows Explorer?

Question

So, i have link on ftp in my page. When user click on this link he's relocate on ftp which open in browser. Is it possible to create behavior such as opening ftp links in Windows Explorer?

Solution 1

You could script it via a batch file and the command line FTP client, but you will need a client. Regular windows explorer doesn't have a way to connect to an FTP site by itself.

Solution 2

1. Start Menu->Computer
2. On the left pane: right-click computer-> add network location
3. Follow the wizard and type in your ftp location (ftp://yourusername:[email protected])
4. Right click the network location and send to your desktop as shortcut.

it's not about shortcuts it's about opening ftp after click on link in browser. But idea is the same

in other words browser can't redirect you to ftp in windows explorer by default. Ok.
