Solution to failure to access FTP in IE7

Although Microsoft's IE browser version 7.0 is enhanced in terms of security, it is greatly weakened in terms of FTP access functionality and convenience, microsoft has removed many FTP access functions from earlier versions in IE7. As a result, users who used a browser to access FTP often encounter some problems when using IE7 to access FTP. Therefore, the following two solutions are provided:
1. Alternative Methods
Step 1: Start internetexplorer 7. On the menu bar, select Tools> Internet Options> advanced> check box, select Enable FTP folder view (outside internetexplorer), and click OK.
Step 2: open my computer or resource manager and enter the FTP address in the address bar.
If you have already opened the FTP site in IE7, select the page on the menu bar> open FTP in a windows browser

2. Modify the Registry (which may be harmful to the system and is not recommended)
Click Start, click Run, enter regedit, and click OK,
Locate and click the following registry subitem
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ internetexplorer \ main \ featurecontrol \ feature_internet_shell_folders: Change the icycler.exe item value from 0 to 1, and then re-enable IE.
