[QUOTE="Venustus, post: 829819, member: 4295"] [I]Google Chrome always had a bit of a love-hate relationship when it comes to managing FTP links. The web browser usually downloads the FTP instead of rendering it like other web browsers. However, if you’re using FTP then you might have to look elsewhere soon as Google is planning to remove FTP support altogether.
