Actually I don't know if this is news for some of you but I had problems displaying FTP server contents in IE6 XP. Either I couldn't connect or the page could not be displayed. Well there is an easy solution to this issue: In IE6 XP open the Tools tab -> goto Internet Options -> Advanced tab -> scroll down till you find Use Passive FTP (for firewall and DSL modem compatibility) -> TICK this setting -> hit Apply This should resolve all problems with accessing FTP servers.
