Access ftp files with a Web Browser
  Important: This only works for PC's using older versions of Internet Explorer (version 6 and under), everyone else can upload and download using your web browser Here

In your browser location bar, where you normally see WebSite URLs, you would type, for example:
ftp://user@you-ftp-domain.com
then login with the password

For instance, if you wanted to access files for the user "jane" at the sub-domain "access.oli.us," you would go to File - Open Location in Internet Explorer menu and then type: ftp://jane@access.oli.us

To upload, you can simply drag and drop a file from your desktop into the window.

To download you simply click and drag the file from the browser to your desktop. most versions of Internet explorer also allow you to move and delete files as needed. It's that simple!

Other notes:

  • Most all browsers can download files, but uploading as described above requires Internet Explorer on a PC.

  • Mac Web-based FTP access is available Here

  • We also have a Web-based FTP interface for all browsers Here.
