1. can we configure the internet explorer to run a routine to transfer file from local folder to ftp destination on another pc?

   1. Hello lc,

      You’d have to setup a batch file or something else that could automate it. Most likely you would be doing this as a script (not using IE). Please consult with a developer/programmer for assistance in automating this type of process.

      If you have any further questions, please let us know.

      Kindest regards,

2. Sir, in that example. The “@” sine is in the user name. But in my case the “@” sine is with the password only… Password = “passkey@123”

   1. Hello somnath,

      I understand the article was not exactly the same, but it was the only possible workaround I was able to find.

      Since IE 7 and 8 are very old and outdated (they are on IE11), it would be much simpler just to use Windows Explorer, FileZilla or one of the many other free FTP clients available. With older software it is difficult to troubleshoot, since it is no longer supported by its creator.

      Thank you,

3. hi, i having a issue inserting the password, my password contening @ sign

   ie. ftp://user:user@[email protected]/

   user = User Name

   user@1 = Password

   myftp.com = actual domain name

   kindly suggest how to pass the url in internet explorer without changing the password. as i am not the ftp server administrator.

   1. Hello somnath,

      Thank you for your question. I found a possible workaround via online search, where they suggest using the hex value.

      For example:
      user%401 = Password

      If this does not help, it may be easier to use an FTP client such as FileZilla.

      Thank you,
      John-Paul
