I'm trying to set up when i mouse dbl click and/or right click and take 'view' it will open in web browser.
The most I have been able to do is change it where the file opens in browser, BUT it is opening it locally! I would like for it to open so i can view it from off the remote server.. as in www.domain.com/index.php
with index.php being the file that i dbl clicked and/or right clicked and took view..
please help thanks.

Site manager, select your site, go to Advanced tab.

Ok? There is nothing there relevant to having the file (in my case index.php) on remote side open in web browser.
After going to advanced tab.. then what?

Have you looked at FlashFXP's help file?

This enables Copy URL to copy a http:// url to the clipboard by mapping the ftp folder to a HTTP server, presuming server is also running a HTTP server.

HTTP URL
Enter the full HTTP URL for the HTTP file server e.g. http://server.com

Server Web Root Path
Enter the root path for the HTTP file server.
Typically this would be something like /home/<user>/public_html/

I read and understand that.. unfortunately, that does not answer my question.. Im not looking to COPY the url (which i already have what u mentioned done).
I'm looking to, like i put in the very first post, either dbl click the file and it opens in browser window or right click take view and it open in browser window.. not just copy to clipboard the url.

currently flashfxp can't do that.
