So does anyone know of a solution for TTW ftp? anyone? Bueller? I agree that this cannot be a proprietary solution. If IE is the only one to support it, I could force that as a requirement, but "NO" downloading of additional software should be required. -Trevor

Drag & Drop TTW file transfer _and_ WYSIWYG editing are the heavenly ideals from a usability perspective IHMO.
But it seems that the devil has all the best tunes in this department - WebFolders and DHTML in IE.
Things like edit-on Pro (http://www.realobjects.de/) offer a cross-platform solution to TTW WYSIWYG editing using Java - anyone know of similar approaches to file transfer (via the browser)?
My requirement is that the end-user must not knowingly install new software (WebDrive is nice but too complicated for many users and is of course Windoze only). As in the case of edit-on Pro the software doesn't have to be no purchase cost - just good value.
