No, it's a protocol you have to select when setting up the connection in a FTP client like filezilla ftp
I use this same FTP client at work, I just don't like the fact I can't copy and paste things from explorer directly into the destination path even though sighted people can drag and drop files from explorer into the target folder.

The Windows Explorer map wizard has a place to provide a username during the set-up. The first time the drive letter is accessed it asks for the password. This dialog also has a checkbox for Windows to remember the password. Although convenient and free, this method is very slow performing transfers. I have also noticed if I upload files to my web server, it may take hours for it to be viewed by Internet Explorer! I primarily use the free filezilla ftp client. The uploads are faster and and can be viewed almost instantly. *Don Marang* Vinux Package Development Coordinator - vinuxproject.org <http://www.vinuxproject.org/> On 11/7/2012 3:14 PM, Boston, Jason (RIS-OKC) wrote: > I think this method of connecting via windows explorer doesn't work on a > secure ftp site.
