Hi I've seen posts for similar problems but not exactly what I'm experiencing. Recently, I cannot drag-and-drop to upload to FTP sites using Explorer (v6). (I CAN download w/ drag and drop and I CAN u/l, but with copy-paste ONLY.) I did mess with a couple of things in the registry recently, trying to make FireFox the default for http and explorer the default for ftp. But I backed up all the reg items I changed, and then restored them when these problems began, so I don't know if that is the problem. I also recently installed several browsers (Opera, FireFox, Netscape) for testing some web devel projects. I thought that might have had something to do with it, so uninstalled all of them, but to no avail. Then I reinstalled IE6 and ran windows update. Still no dice. Also, NAV has not detected any virii. Does anyone no of a Windows setting that disables drag and drop, or have any info that might help? This is annoying me. Thanks, Adam

I'm having the same problem with Windows XP, just moving files in general. Can't drag -- only copy and paste

Having the same problem in win2000 with IE6, fully patched etc. Can't drag into ftp folders or windows shares. Cut and paste works though....

Dave, I have exactly the same problem with a configuration history very close, if not identical to yours. I think this is a Firefox issue...but let's see how it plays out. I'm an energy science and technology consultant working out of my home office running a dual Xeon server running IIS5 under a fully up to date and clean W2K Pro. I've been playing around with Firefox co-existing with IE6 for about three weeks now and just found out I can't dnd (drag'n'drop} to my own upload ftp site using IE6! I tried some big corporate sites with the same result. Like you, I can copy/paste just fine and also "put-ing" the old way with DOS window ftp command line is no problem either. The Mozilla fireFTP extension to Firefox also works for upload sites that are not "blind" (that is, allow read access as well as write...I go through a virtual directory with write access only, thus hiding its contents from the current logged on user. On my local site, fireFTP I think tries to execute a "dir" command which results in a 550 denial of access. I believe the fireFTP developers should consider this a bug). I run my server through a router connected by high speed DSL to a static IP address with only the http and ftp ports forwareded. Behind the router, I have a household LAN with several other PCs running W2K as well as a Mac that are assigned IPs by the router. One of them is my 14 year old boy on whose machine I recently installed Firefox (but not fireFTP)...and guess what? He has the same problem. On the other hand, my laptop on the LAN without FF doesn't, either to my own ftp upload site or anybody else's. In addition, I'm a Visiting Scholar at Stanford and when I use the PCs in the lab I can use IE6 to dnd on my ftp upload site...no problem. There is one caveat. I've notice the machines have Mozilla installed as well, but I believe it's the old browser and not Firefox 1.01. I'll check tomorrow. Anyway, all this is not solving the problem, but I believe it's a heavily smoking gun for the Mozilla developers that needs looking into. I'll be posting this thread to one of their forum sites and we'll see what happens. Paul www.w2agz.com
