How to set up ftp site
Perhaps many of you by now know how to create and configure a FTP server. If you don’t know what FTP is, FTP or File Transfer Protocol is used to move data from one computer to another over the Internet, or through a network.
So, you need to use ftp to move your files? Sounds difficult, doesn\'t it? Well, no need to worry; it\'s not as bad as it sounds. FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, which is just another way to transfer files over phone lines.
To start using FTP, you will want to get an ftp program that makes it simple to transfer and rename your files. My suggestion is WS_FTP from Ipswitch. You can download a free trial version at the Ipswitch Home Page. This is the program you will see in the images in these ftp tutorials.
If you like to find one on your own, you can go to ZDnet\'s Shareware Library and search for "FTP Client" or "FTP program". Of course, your program may have a diverse look than the images here, but you should be able to get the general idea from these tutorials.
Now install the program on your computer using the instructions provided at the site, in a read me file, etc. Once you have the program installed, start it up. If you are using WS_FTP, you will get a screen like the one below on startup. If you don\'t get this screen, click the "Connect" button in the bottom left corner of the program window.
