Using Sharepoint content editor webpart to list FTP site contents
I am using the sharepoint content editor webpart to connect to an FTP, site and list the contents for people browsing the page. I used an <IFrame SRC="FTP IP Address, directory and credentials" width=100% height= 400 /></IFrame> I usedthe code aboveto bring in the FTP site to view and the FTP site contents are listed and active, but once I added it the edit menu on the web part and other drop down lists on the page became disabled. Doesanyone have some additional code or method I can use to bring the FTP site contents into the webpart and also keep the rest of the items on the sharepoint page functional. Thanks in advance for your help.

Instead of the Content Editor Web part have you tried the Page Viewer Web Part?Robert Stark MCTS - MOSS 2007 MCTS - WSS 3.0 http://www.thesharepointranch.com http://www.excell.com

Well... it worked, but it broke the "edit content" link...

Hiwtflanders, I'm wondering if you still suggest using the method you suggested previously for "getting FTP to work within MOSS".Thanks,Henry

If you guys are referring to FTP's inability to keep credentials when making links in SharePoint, for example, ftp://user:pass@siteaddress.com, it's not working because of an Internet Explorer 8 limitation, not SharePoint. You'll see what I mean if you try your links in Firefox. IE8's FTP capability was removed in favor of using Windows Explorer.

I was having the same problem with the menus being disabled when I used an IFRAME in the content editor, and I wasn't doing anything with FTP - just a view onto a simple PHP page. I found, after hours of permutations, that the problem was my syntax. I was writing: <iframe src="src here" ... /> When I changed it to: <iframe src="src here" ... ></iframe> all of the errors went away! I realize I'm about 3 years too late to help you, but hopefully someone else will stumble on this post and get the answer.
