I have been using IE7 since it was in Beta. I have had very few problems. I tried using the FTP that is built into the browser to access my sites and could not. I wrote to Rootsweb and they told me that they were making changes and that it was no longer possible to FTP via the browser. I had absolutely no problem using Rootsweb's file manager, WS-FTP Pro or Core FTP Lite.

You can still FTP via the browser using IE6, Netscape, Mozilla, etc. Pat
