Techie Question

Okay, I need to find out how to "FTP" something. Do I need any kind of special software that isn't on my computer?

If you have access to an ftp site, you chould be able to just "drag and drop" onto it.

There's a little freebie program called CuteFTP that should probably do the trick.

http://www.cuteftp.com/

FTP is a bit of a different animal in that you'll need some basic info to access most FTP sites. For example, when I was with Comcast, in order to access their FTP site to change my webpage, I needed to know:

Hostname/Address: (upload.comcast.net)
Username: robeads
Password: Ebclarinet

Host type is usually set to "automatic detect"

Hopefully this is helpful. Give me a holler (or, 'holla' as those more hip than me say) if you need more help.

PS: Ebclarinet will NEVER be my password. But is is funny. :-)

you can FTP through either internet explorer, or you can use an FTP program. I use a program called "CuteFTP" its one of the easier ones I have found.

Have you figured this out already or not? lemme know tell shelli and she can tell me or you can email me trustfulclown@sbcglobal.net
