Basically, My mum runs a small non profit organisation and from time to time the members of the group need access to documents that my mum has stored. I suggested and set up a FTP server for her, its only 10KB max file size, so home connection is easily capable. I have set up the usernames and passwords fine, the only thing is getting an easy way to send them a link...
I originally thought about a vbs script, so I wrote one of them which worked fine;
Obviously the address was something different.
I then tried to send this to one of the members to test it out, to find that I can sent .vbs files though outlook or hotmail. Great.
So I did a batch file;
I then went to send and, Can't send batch files though outlook or hotmail...
Basically, Whats the easiest was to send a small and simply file that will open up Windows Explorer and navigate to my FTP address and then all the have to do is type their username and password and bobs your uncle.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Option Explicit
Dim objShell, Racey, intCount
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run "c:\windows\explorer.exe ftp://FTP@FTPADDRESS
