I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, and am trying to add a local FTP location to my Windows explorer favorites. For some reason, when I've browsed to say ftp://localaddr
, and right click on favorites
and click add current location
, nothing happens! Is the bookmarking of ftp locations just not supported?
Maybe related: It is a location which requires username/password login (Windows has already saved the password)

Open up Explorer and go to
C:\Users\<username>\Links
then create a new shortcut into this folder. (File -> New -> Shortcut)Put the address
ftp://localaddr
into the location field, then hit Next and Finish. You should now have it in your favorites.
