Yeah, I mean - how much can you do with an FTP to warrant using a pay version. The freeware ones are just fine. ---

After entering your username and password, go to FTP | Connect. It should display all of your local files on the left. All of the files stored on your server will be displayed on the right. Cheers! Kirupa :rambo: ---

I use the FTP system that is included with Dreamweaver. that works. Doesn’t Frontpage have an FTP uploader? ---

Alex: I use CuteFTP for all of my needs. It is extremely intuitive, yet robust. You can also customize it to your own needs (I even have installed it on my clients’ machines so they can update their sites themselves). just a note… Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

mdipi: ftp - file transfer protocol - allows one to upload/download data from a web server with a much less chance of getting disconnected. Also, a lot of servers allow ftp resume in case you do get disconnected, so you don’t have to start all over again. it is much better than HTML. What do you use to udate your site now?
