Can I use FTP over SSL-Explorer? .: 3SP Knowledgebase

There is currently no support for the forwarding of FTP connections through SSL Tunnels, this may be added in a future release.

However it is possible to connect to an FTP server using the Network Places feature, simply enter the path in the following style.
ftp://username:password@server[port]/folder

i try to use network places to use FTP services on a remote host but when i try to add the network places i get an error:
Incorrect target format! Use either UNC style paths "\\Fileserver\share" or SSL-Explorer resource style "/fs/cifs/fileserver/share".

How can i solve ?

If this error is when creating the Network Place, it sounds like you're entering the details in the wrong format. Either switch the type to FTP and enter the details in the new fields as requested, or use automatic and use ftp://hostname.
