Is it possible to create a shortcut to a specific FTP folder in Windows?
I have already added my FTP site by using
My Computer > Add Network Location > FTP Address.
However, explorer opens up my default folder. I have to frequently access a specific folder which is located at:
Home > public_html > assets > images > platform > products
Can I create a shortcut, which will launch the products folder directly?
EDIT: To make it easy to understand - I'd like to have a shortcut to the FTP sub-folder on the Desktop and be able to pin it to the Taskbar (essential)
I find your question confusing: do you want to access your
...\products
folder through FTP, or do you want direct file access to the files handled by your FTP server? In the first case a network location works fine in Windows 10; in the second case you can use a symbolic link in any convenient location, such as your home directory. – AFH – 2015-09-14T12:39:02.583It's the former. To make it clear - an explorer shorcut that can pinned to the Start Screen and the taskbar (essential). – Navik Goswami – 2015-09-14T12:42:11.330
In that case Andre's answer should work, but you will need to add
explorer
to the short-cut, as inexplorer ftp://...
; otherwise the short-cut will open the site in a browser, not Windows Explorer. – AFH – 2015-09-14T13:02:28.277@AFH Thank you! That worked! If you can properly form your comment to include Andre's answer along with the steps to make a shortcut for a desktop and pin it to taskbar, I'll mark it as the answer. – Navik Goswami – 2015-09-14T14:00:31.287
