Is there a way to use opendialog or savedialog to navigate on FTP server?
I've tried to use
InitialDir := 'ftp://ftpip'

    CyberNotes: Map a FTP to a Drive in Windows

    The solution I’m about to show you doesn’t exactly assign a drive letter to the FTP server, but it will essentially serve the same purpose as a drive. Through Windows Explorer you’ll have one-click access to your files, and they will even be accessible through the standard Open/Save dialog boxes in apps such as Microsoft Word.
