IE5 has the ability
to make FTP sites appear more like local folders. To enable this function, you
have to be sure that 'Use Web Based FTP' is not checkmarked on the 'Advanced'
tab in 'Internet Options.' Here's something else that I inadvertently stumbled
upon: when you're browsing an FTP site, select 'View' then 'as Web Page' from
the menu. IE should then show you the 'welcome' message for that archive at
that point. On top of this, the new 'Web' pane will show you which files you
have selected, and their full paths.
