spiderwell Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I not sure I folow what you are after, do you want a link that links via FTP instead of http? Not sure where a form would come into that. Do you want a link that goes to a website and then that website requires you to login to it?

spiderwell Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 im pretty sure you can do it as simply as this <a href="ftp://mydomain.com">click here</a> if your domain name is set up correctly.

spiderwell Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 perhaps if you used activeX? im not sure really, but maybe also a link to where you expect windows explorere to be: <a href="c:/windows/explorer.exe">clicky</a> if it works in browser why not use that Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/232953-request-form/#findComment-1198152 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman22 Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 the link you have given me, does call the windows explorer which is great, however the problem im getting is that i want it to go directly to the ftp file only and not be open to all other files. the reason for not using the browser is that it only lets me view the files, whereas if i was using the windows explorer i can also edit/delete/add when required.
