Windows 7 add ftp location to Favorites in Windows Explorer

favoritesftpwindows 7

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)

Best Answer

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.
