cannot access ftp site via IE, Chrome or Firefox

I have the following FTP details as an example:

Server: 10.10.100.10

User: dreamer

Password: 12345

When I used FileZilla I can access the FTP site with the above credentials.

When I use windows explorer, I put this in the address bar ftp://10.10.100.10, I get a pop-up asking for credentials, which I enter and this works.

However, when I use IE, firefox or Chrome, I cannot get in.

I use this in the address bar: ftp://dreamer:12345@10.10.100.10

Please note, this is just an example.

Solution

  • In Filezilla right click on the file you want to access.

    Select 'Copy URL(s) to clipboard' and paste that into your browser a popup window should appear asking for logins.

    That works for me.
