Actually, using Explorer (NOT IE) is about as cheap as you can get. Open Explorer and type your FTP destination in the address bar (you don't really even have to type the "ftp://" part either), and you're there.

With Explorer and IE already there, why would you want anything else?

but how do you set the port in exporler? it doesn't give you a clear view aout where you are in the system either.

after all, exporler is mainly for browsing webpages.
