Thank you ponder for all the information and to all the guys who did the same and the guys who lead me to this.Ponder this is great stuff man.I will archive this information immediately.Just a quick question is this ftp server gonna run for a long time and is these folders being updated bi yearly..Ponder this was the solution i was looking for although others also said ftp but i ran powershell and it could not find anything,i will post the error but the explorer side worked.

When running powershell this error occurs
Get-Process : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'ftp'.
At line:1 char:1
+ PS D:\> ftp ftp.sun.ac.za
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: :)) [Get-Process], ParameterBindingException

Leave out the "PS D:\>" when copying the command.

Insert this command in powershell, "ftp ftp.sun.ac.za", without the quotation marks.

You can’t not have a browser in modern windows, it’s literally built into the system.

Are you sure it’s not just the shortcut that’s missing?

That machine is most likely suffering from aids, syphilis and gonorrhea. A clean install is the way to go.

I don't know how long into the future the server will run but what I can tell you is the first time I used that univ of stellenbosch server was in 1992...
If you look at the path /ftp/pub/mirrors/ftp.opera.com/desktop/43.0.2442.806/win/ that will tell you they are mirroring the ftp.opera.com server, the server contents are synced at least daily using rsync.
You'll notice that the opera files are out of date as opera no longer maintains that browser so there will be no updates.
You can also setup your own ftp server in the cloud and sync folders from ftp.opera.com, ftp.mozilla.org etc

I don't know why powershell gives you that error. Does it work with the normal dos CMD window?
