Point Safari to your favorite ftp site by typing in the location window ftp://yourftp.com or by clicking on an ftp link.

FTP calls Chimera
I tried this and Safari passes the FTP link to Chimera, my default browser, instead of mounting the volume. I changed my default browser in Safari's prefs from Chimera to itself but still same result - in 10.2.3.
Re: Safari mounts FTP sites in the Finder
but the finder still does not let you upload/modify files. grrrrr
JEdit FTP plug-in is handy
For a free way to upload and modify files on a FTP server without using the Terminal ftp utility try installing JEdit and installing the FTP plug-in. Works great for me. Can't seem to delete files on the server though, except through command line FTP in Terminal.
Safari and FTP site
Does anyone know why i get permissions error when trying to upload to a ftp site using Safari? I can use Transmit and it works fine, and also on a dreaded PC it works with IE (drag and drop) with the same account and password. Thanks.
Safari and FTP site
Because, as the parent post says, OSX mounts it as a read-only volume.
Safari and FTP site
Why the hell does it do that?
Interarchy
It seems to pass it off to whatever's marked as the default FTP client (I have no idea how that's set). For me, that was Interarchy.
CHimera..
Chimera does this too...at least for me
Change default FTP client
The default FTP client can be changed in Internet Explorer in the protocol helpers preferences. Stupid that there's no system-wide way to do this as there was in OS 9.
Change default FTP client for Safari from Internet Explorer
Yes, there's no Internet Config like in the old OS9 days so it is enfuriating to have to use MS software to change a global parameter that Safari uses by default.
Change default FTP client for Safari from Internet Explorer
I checked recently modified files after changing this pref in IE
Safari mounts FTP sites in the Finder
abit late but i accidentally set the ftp helper to Safari and it isn't working out properly and i want to switch back to the Finder...but I can't seem to set it using Internet Explorer...Finder can't be selected...
Safari mounts FTP sites in the Finder
if you modify the file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LauncherServices.plist by going into the terminal and typing emacs ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LauncherServices.plist do a ctrl-s and type ftp if it isn't the first item just hit ctrl-s and you'll find it eventually...it will look like
go down to where it says
change that to
then go down to the bottom of the group to where it says
change that to
hit ctrl-x ctrl-s
and you are set to go
you can verify that it was changed by looking at the IE preferences or the prefpane "More Internet"
Always before you do anything to these files make a backup incase something goes wrong just copy the backup back into the folder and replace the messed up item...hope it works for ya
