can anyone tell me how to get my explorer on my window mobile 2003 to not automatically put http:// in the address bar. i want to go to a ftp site but even if i just type in ftp:/etc.... it puts http:// in front of it as soon as i hit send. driving me crazy. thanks

Hi fletch33. Forum rules don't alow cross posting/duplicate threads so I killed the other one. I don't know that pocket IE can handle FTP sites . You may need to use a registry hack (tweaks2k2 or orthers) to make a registry change to have PIE present itself as IE6.

PIE does not support ftp whether you are mimicing IE 6 or not. There are several ftp clients available for the PPC. I know Resco Explorer includes one, Cambridge Computer has one, and I've read about a free one at Orneta but have not actually tried any of these.

Hi Ike. Thanks for the confirmation/clarification.

thanks for your help. i will look into those options.

Resco's is good. I have used it extensively. Some ftp sites are quite clever, though, so passing PIE as IE6 is a good idea. I would suggest MultIE. This is great... It offers tabbed browsing and a hell of a lot more, including a simple way of passing PIE as IE6 (no registry hacks required!).
