Is there any way to get Mozilla to use the Finder for ftp?
In OS9 there used to be a setting under the Internet control panel to set your FTP client and your applications would respect this. Under OS X I can't find a way to set my prefered FTP client.
Thanks in advance,
Ian.

I don't think so, wasn't there a beta of a more internet preferences pane topic up the other day? you may want to search that one out. Sidenote, the finder doesn't support ftp yet so no browsing ftp servers via the finder for you.

I found '<a href="http://www.monkeyfood.com/software/vince/index.html" target="_blank">Vince</a>' by using VersionTracker and it allows me to set the Finder (or whatever) to be my FTP client, but Mozilla still tries to handle the FTP session itself rather than respecting the protocol helper I have specified. It's the one thing that I have to keep returning to IE for, at least it launches my FTP client when I begin a FTP session.
Cheers,
Ian.

just open the ftp client and copy the ftp url into the connect box.

It's because Mozilla doesn't really care all that much that you are on a Mac and thus _have_ protocol helpers.
