When I use Windows Explorer to browse a FTP site, it defaults to Tiles view. I need it to default to List view.
I don't see a registry setting, and the standard [Tools -> Folder Options… -> View -> Apply to Folders] apparently has no effect on FTP sites.

For the record, here is a partial workaround tested on W7 SP1 and W10 v1511.
Run the batch script Reset Folder View Settings of All Folders.
Import to registry:
3a. Run
explorer shell:mycomputerfolder
and you should seeMy Computer
opened in details view.3b. Run
explorer ftp://your.site.com
and it should remain in details view as long as you do not press the site icon in the navigation pane (if present byAdd Network Location
).You may create a shortcut with location
explorer ftp://your.site.com
for convenience.References:
