I have imported my bookmarks from Blinklist; included in these are several ftp sites I use.
It appears that diigo does not support the ftp:// prefix indicating an invalid URL
Please could support for this be implemented?
Thanks
Although it may be a nice feature, ftp bookmarking is pretty rare. It'd take some time for us to carefully consider security issues and how your ftp documents are saved / processed in our database. Given that we have a lot of high urgency priorities, this won't be considered any time soon.
Like to hear other users' input on this.....

Thanks for the feedback, I can understand that if the ftp URL is directly to an executable there might be a security implication.
However I have a lot of ftp sites that I have bookmarked, so not that rare.
FYI - Blinklist, ma.gnolia and del.ico.us all support bookmarking of ftp URLs which of course are valid URLs.
Thanks

Just spoke to our team - our new toolbar will support ftp, so stay tuned...
Great news, thanks for that, I have requested beta access some time ago but nothing popped into my inbox yet.
Thanks for your prompt assistance.
