By default, when you login to ftp, it will auto redirect to the folder name
same as the username. if it can't find it revert back to the root.
but in IE 7 - IE changed this, so you will need to use Windows Explorer.http://msmvps.com/blogs/bernard/archive/2007/10/08/iis-ftp-and-ie-7-n...

I am using IE 7 and it opens the expected directory -- then I select
select Page=>Open FTP Site in Windows Explorer. Windows Explorer is
what tries to open in a different directory than what IE 7 is
showing.


what do you see in firefox ?

I see a empty directory, and if I go up one level, I see the directory
I expected to see.

Thanks for your help. I think I have a handle on the situation now
and can avoid the problem in the future.
