[Web4lib] is FTP with a browser really FTP

[John Fitzgibbon]

Hi,

I work from behind a firewall. FTP from the command line is blocked. However, if I open an FTP session with my browser by typing ftp:// for the protocol it works unhindered by the firewall.

Does Internet Explorer 7 process FTP requests through HTTP or is there something else going on?

Regards
John
