Microsoft Internet Explorer FTP

Beginning with Internet Explorer 5, you can use the browser as an FTP client with drag-and-drop simplicity. Try this: Run Internet Explorer 5 (or greater) and go to an FTP site of your choice. If you want to download something, all you have to do is then drag the remote folder to your desktop or to any folder on your computer and IE will download the file for you.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5+ doesn't offer the versatility of a full-featured FTP client, but many of us don't need all the added features anyway.
