Open the FTP site in the file Explorer

Similar Questions

• FTP - open the site in question from the file Explorer.

  Hi all

  I am here today with a common question, which seems to have been answered several times, but none of the above worked for me.

  My problem is the following:

  • http://prntscr.com/39ebdv

  It's my current installation:

  • Ubuntu Server running 12.04 with installed ProFTPd.
  • Windows 7 computer (desktop) and laptop.
  • Windows File Explorer.

  Here's what I tested, and what are the results I get:

  On my two main computers, each running Windows 7, I get the image displayed above. (For those of you who cannot see the image, there are a stain on the bottom of this question). However, I tried it on two other computers in my LAN, and they work. I also tried on a computer in a different city, and it works. My FTP address is the following: "ftp://ftp.marshalldrive.ca" without the quotes.

  Here are some solutions I've tried:

  1. with the help of Internet Explorer (my current browser is Google Chrome), pressing 'Alt - view-> in the file Explorer view', I get the error displayed.

  2. turn off my firewall and my anti-virus, same results.

  3. go to the file Explorer Windows and in the address bar: "ftp://ftp.marshalldrive.ca" (without the quotes)

  4 import a registry that looks like this: http://prntscr.com/39ee2j (code shown below), using the above, didn't work.

  5. copy of the record of one of the other computers to work.

  6. release of Google Chrome and using IE.

  That's all.

  When you use the browser (IE, GC, PSC), I can type in ftp://ftp.marshalldrive.ca, and it works. However, it does not work when I try to display in the folder view. I get the above error.

  Why am I trying to do?

  -I know FileZilla exists and many others. I like the simple layout of the windows Explorer, and it is easier for the elderly to use to use F.Z. I also prefer not having to install anything and using the built-in module.

  IF anyone can help me I can help you in return. I am creating a file storage system, and I can give you free space on my server.

• When I try to open Firefox and explore, I get a menu of recommended programs and asked me to choose the program with which to open the file.

  Original title: open Firefox and explore

  When I leave early to Mozilla Firefox or Explorer, I get a menu of recommended programs and asked me to choose the program with which to open the file. When I do, I get a security warning asking if I really want to do. If I check "Run", I get redirected to the previous list, and I find myself in a circle without end. It does not matter what choice to make. Used to be that I went from starting Firefox directly.  I can get in if I have Firefox right click and choose to run the file as an administrator and then give permission to open the program. How can I cut these two additional and direct access, that I used to enjoy. I run Vista. The same thing happens if I have to explore. Would be grateful for the help.

  If it worked before, and you have made any hardware or software changes, you can reset the preferences.

  I am a member of the Administrators group on my computer.  I have a folder full of files and other folders that I denied access for administrator users.  Not sure when it appeared that I had gone for the holidays, but now I am unable to open the files located in this folder.  I can delete, move, and rename at will, but can not open.  I tried all the resets of permissions I can think as well as read all knowledge base articles I can find but still not get these files to open.

  I've recently updated MS Security Essentials, do not know if this has a any correlation.

  At one point, I saw the certificate and it ranked as not approved.  How would this change?  Would this impact my ability to open files yet again let me move, delete and rename?  If so, how can I solve?

  I restore to a restore point previous and not yet open - also received an error message telling me MS Security Essentials would not work properly.  So I undid the restore.

  Thank you in advance for any input.  PatrixUSA

  In fact, it starts to make a lot of sense today.  The files that you have problems with have been encrypted with EFS.  EFS is closely related to the NTFS file system.  As long as you move files encrypted in the same Volume, it is not a problem, because a move is an operation of directory and the directories themselves are not encrypted (only the files that are there).  Whenever you move an encrypted volume to another file, the file must be decrypted, transferred to the other volume, then re-encrypted to destination.  Thus, the destination volume must be a NTFS file system to keep encrypted files.  If the destination is not a NTFS volume, then the copy would result in a file that is not encrypted at the destination and you will be prompted as to whether or not to allow the operation.  In all cases, a copy of volume-volume requires decryption of the file and any operation that requires a decryption error of access for you - more your inability to open a file normally indicates that you no longer control the certificate to decrypt the file.

  Backups are another matter.  If you are using Microsoft Backup utility (NTbackup), so he recognizes the encrypted file attribute and it backs up as - is without decoding.  Other 3rd third-party backup programs may not recognize the encrypted files and simply read and write to the backup media.  When this happens, the files are automatically decrypted to read (assuming the user certificates requires archiving) and writings of backup to a file unencrypted.  This would explain why you can retrieve an archive and it is not encrypted.  DVD and optical bands do not use NTFS, so a decryption of the original file is required to save in these environments.

  The private part of your (needed for decryption of files) EFS encryption certificate itself is stored encrypted on your computer.  To decrypt, Windows uses your SecureID, password, and other things of which I'm unaware.  If your password is not reset in the normal way (i.e. by entering your current password and your new password) such as an administrator, then your certificate is not re-encrypted to your new password and your access lose him and with him, access to your EFS files.  Other forms of corruption can cause you to lose your certificate, but it seems that at some point you have lost access to your certificate and therefore cannot access files that have been encrypted under this certificate.

  New files that you write in a directory that has been activated with EFS will notice that you have a valid certificate and then automatically generate a new certificate that will be used to encrypt files from right now.  That's why the new files that you add to this directory appear to work well.  The only real mystery what I can't explain is the reason why a system restore to a time where it wasn't a problem does not allow you to restore access.

  If you want some heavy reading, try this:

  "Encrypting file system in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003"
    <>http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457065.aspx >

  Personally, I'm not fan of the EFS because of problems like this.  I prefer the freewareTruecrypt which is just as safe, but I myself manage keys (in the form of password) instead of Windows.  Also, it hides the names of files and can be used safely on a connection in network and backup from windows volume is encrypted little matter how they are done.  I have not lost all data encrypted in more than a decade.

• I downloaded the 32-bit, Windows 7, Internet, and now when I try to open the file you just downloaded with an MS-DOS screen opens then closes instantly. What should I do?

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Hi Chris.Plucker,
   
  Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum
   
  I would like to ask you a few questions to better understand:
   
  (a) you try to open the file from Internet Explorer?
   
  (b) if so, have you tried with other browsers?
   
  (c) from which site did you download Windows 7?
   
  (d) what is the name of the file you want to download?

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note When you perform a clean boot, you may temporarily lose some functionality. When you start the computer as usual, the function returns. However, you may receive the error message, or you can experience the original behavior.

  Follow the steps below to put your computer in a clean boot state:

  Note If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps. We recommend strongly that you do not use System Configuration utility to change startup options on the computer, unless a support engineer Microsoft directs you to do so. This can make the computer unusable.

  1. sign the computer by using an account with administrator rights.

  2. click on the Start button, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the Startup items load check box. (The box use the Boot file is not available.)

  4. on the Services tab, click to select the hide all Microsoft services check box, and then all disable.

  Note Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.

  5. click on OK, then restarting.

  Check the link to learn more about the clean boot below:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  1. click the Start button, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  2 in the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click on OK.

  3. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click restart.

• WINDOWS cannot OPEN THE FILE D:\Sources\Install.wim REQUIERED. Make sure that all required files for installation aare available and restart the installation. Error code: 0x8007000D,.

  IM TRYING to re - INSTALL WINDOWS VISTA ON MY T-6321 to the front door, BUT WHEN I INSERT THE DISC, AND INSTALL, a MESSAGE APPEARS SAYING: WINDOWS cannot OPEN THE FILE D:\Sources\Install.wim REQUIERED. Make sure that all required files for installation aare available and restart the installation. Error code: 0x8007000D, SHOULD ALL BE ON THE DISCALREADY?

  Hi JRCLNSIN100,

   

  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

  We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

  ·         What is the disk you use to reinstall?

  ·         Is this a recovery or reinstalling the disc you are using?

  ·         When exactly do you get this error message?

  ·         What is the edition of Windows Vista, you try to install?

  ·         How old is the drive that you are using?

  ·         How are you starting the installation process?

  After researching the error 0x8007000D code is essentially due to file corruption and a problem with the drive itself.

  First check if you have scratches or dust on the disc and clean the surface and try again.

  To check if the disk is wrong, you will need to copy the contents of the DVD to the hard drive and try to install using that.

  To perform a flat installation of Windows Vista, follow these steps.

  Note The hard disk must have at least 3 GB of free space on the disk for the Windows Vista installation files. The hard disk must have at least 15 GB of additional disk space to install Windows Vista. For more information about system requirements for Windows Vista, see the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/windowsvista/editions/SystemRequirements.mspx

  1. Insert the Windows Vista installation disc.
  2. Start Windows Explorer.
  3. In Windows Explorer, click to select the drive for the Windows Vista installation disc.
  4. On the Edit menu, click select all.
  5. On the Edit menu, click copy.
  6. Click to select the hard disk you want to contain the flat installation files.
  7. On the file menu, point to new, click the folder, type Windows Vista Setupand then press ENTER.
  8. Double-click the Windows Vista Setup program, and then click Paste on the Edit menu.
  9. Double-click Setup.exe, and then follow the instructions that appear.

  See the link below for more information on flat installation.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/928902

  This problem can also occur if the firmware of the DVD drive is defective or obsolete.

  If the step above does not resolve the question suggests that you install the latest drivers for the DVD player on the computer.

  For more information please visit the link below.

  Error message when you try to install Windows Vista by using the DVD drive on the computer: "Windows cannot install required files".

• FavIcons not showing correctly in the file Explorer, but display correctly in Internet Explorer.

  Please note: this is the opposite of what people usually describe their problem in.

  I have Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

  My favicon display correctly in the Explorer of files (file mode) but display correctly in Internet Explorer. This intrigues me. When I open the Internet Explorer, icons for Favorites OK show to the left of the name of the shortcut file in the Favorites bar and the Favorites bar. However, when I open Windows File Explorer and check out my favorites and folders, the FavIcons are the generic icons globe, not specific icons to websites that shortcuts point to. The links work well. It's just that the FavIcons are generic globes. (Not all, but many). I want the correct FavIcons to show in the view of Windows File Explorer.

  I tried to revisit web sites and dragging the URL (and favicon) of the bar of address of IE in the "Favorites" folder again. Who has not solved the problem. I tried to go to the page of the site and to type the favicon.ico extension and save it, but windows won't let me save it. (Where can they be saved? And how would be attributed to the shortcut in the file Explorer file? Or is it not the way to solve the problem?)

  Is there a way to fix this without having to download an app/program? Is there a way to solve this problem without changing the registry? Or is the simple registry change?

  I want the correct Favicons to display in the file Explorer, and Internet Explorer.

  Please answer in plain English, not in words irritable. If you propose a procedure, please explain where everything is (how to find things click on what you recommend.)

  Thanks in advance for the help.

  IT IS THE ANSWER. A MODERATOR WOULD MARK IT AS THE ANSWER, OR REPLY TO IT, SO I CAN MARK THE ANSWER. IT SEEMS ABSURD THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO POST AN ANSWER TO OUR QUESTION AND POWER OF THE BRAND AS THE ANSWER. Thank you.

  I searched and found the answer. Also, I realized I had encountered this problem about two years ago and had saved the info of the solution in a Notepad file. On the site, the answer given by Chris H is the solution. It is to delete the icon cache of .db database and allowing windows to create a new. My problem was that the favicons for several favorite shortcuts of IE showed the purple globe (ugly) credits. After that I deleted the icon cache database file, a new file has been created and my favicons are correct for each shortcut.

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-desktop/some-desktop-icons-appear-as-broken-icons/05abcead-adb1-43ba-9BB7-e308d0cc83a4

  (Both methods are given in the he.) I list the instructions for the first method, which worked for me. You can click on this page for more information).

  There are a few things you can try:

  First: (icon Cache regeneration)

  1. open Folder Options to select (round) display the hidden files and folders.
  2. open a Windows Explorer window.
  3. go to C:\Users\(User Name) \AppData\Local
  4. right click on IconCache.db and click on delete.
  5. click on Yes to confirm the deletion.
  NOTE: This deletes the file to the trash. It is safe to empty the trash when you are done.
  6. close the window.
  7 empty the trash.
  8 restart the computer.
  9. When you return, you'll notice the size of the file IconCache.db is reduced, and the update is now the current date.
  NOTE: If for some reason any IconCache.db isn't there or the size has not changed much, then just restart the computer again. You may need to restart a few times in some cases.
  10. the icon cache has been rebuilt.
  11. Open Folder Options to select (round) do not show the hidden files and folders.

• How to remove common locations from the file tab in the file Explorer?

  When I open file Explorer and tap the file it displays a list of frequent places invading my privacy

  When I open file Explorer and tap the file it displays a list of frequent places invading my privacy

  Hello

  I don't know what you mean by "invading my privacy?

  Frequent sites display only the folders and files that you opened in the file Explorer. Each user account displays only frequent places for this specific account. No other account can see the frequent locations for your user account.

  The frequent places are associated with the taskbar Jump Lists for applications that are pinned to the taskbar.

  You can right-click on the taskbar and select Properties.

  Select the tab lists Jump and remove the check from the 2 options you see here.

  This will disable the list of common places in the file Explorer and lists of shortcuts on the taskbar.

• Dreamweaver opens the file wrong image (permanently...!)

  Hey,.

  I use Dreamweaver CC / 13.2.

  on a Yosemite iMac running.

  I have several site definitions for different areas that I administer.

  I work in the definition of Site 'X '.

  Whenever I want to add or edit an image, the file Explorer (or "finder")

  Open definition 'Y', a totally different site, site and I come to

  where my current site is defined.

  This happens continuously - no matter how many times I opened the dialogue of the image

  and take the time to go back to my current site definition.

  What is the @# $% $% with that?

  I mean - is this not the point of "defining a site" and "defining its root folder" on your hard drive, together

  so that DW opens it is file-dialogues in the CORRECT LOCATION?  And did this lame program

  you do not have the 'intelligence' to 'learn' where you looking for an image and maybe go back to the same place?

  I mean, REALLY!

  How can decades this program has around and how

  a lot of $$ I'm paying every month, and the program is so stupid

  It doesn't have an idea this folder to open a command "insert an image"?

  What is happening with THIS?

  The PC version is also too stupid?

  or if he is still a Mac Bug in my apps?

  Thanks for any emotional support.

• When I download something on the Web, the "Downloads" window opens, but that the window remains empty. Before it used to show at least the name of the file and I was able to open the file in the "Downloads" window Is it possible to recover this feature?

  I am running Windows XP that is updated to the latest version (which I think could be Service Pack 3, but not positive.) Mozilla Firefox is version 5.0. I tend to use Google as my search engine, so most of the stuff I download comes through sites found through Google, which is also updated.

  At some point in the past (there are maybe a few versions) when I want to download a file from the Internet, the "downloads" window opens and in the window would display the name of the file I got was download or came from download. I think I used to be able to then click on the file name and opens the file (or the Setup file if necessary to launch the new program). I am currently using Firefox 5.0 (screen "On Firefox" said that it is up to date) and when I download a file or document, the "Downloads" window appears on the screen as it has always in the past, but it remains empty, that is, nothing is displayed in the download area. I don't remember to make configuration changes, etc., that may have caused the window to remain a Virgin, but I could be wrong. I know how to find the items I downloaded (My Documents / downloads) and can generally guess what might be the name of the downloaded file, but it was much easier when something (anything) appeared in the downloads window.

  I'd like someone to tell me about a simple solution for this. I'm ready to be pretty embarrassed that I did something I should not have.

  In the Firefox Options / confidentiality be sure 'Remember download history"is checked. To see all the options on this Panel, "Firefox will be" must be set to "use the custom settings for history".

  To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click on the icon my computer, choose Properties, this little window is info on your operating system.
