ftp program

Anyone know a free ftp program to upload files and pages to my sites?

Search www.downloads.com for FTP clients.

CuteFTP is a good one, or WS-FTP Pro.

Speaking of ftp programs, on my Win95 machine, I have a file in the Windows directory which is called 'ftp.exe'. When I open it, it is a command line program. What does it do and how do I use it ( if I can). I think that it is for a network.

Hi M8y.

1. Run FTP.exe
2. Type ?
3. This will show all the command options.
4. type open www.mydomain.com
5. Enter the username
6. Enter the password

You send to upload a file... IE.

send C:\file.txt

It will automatically upload the file to the current location on your webserver. Find out what location your at by typing...

lcd

Then just use default command from DOS to browse through the directories. CD \ to go back to root. CD.. to go back a directory & CD directoryname to go to a directory.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Paul.

It's an FTP client of the standard sort. Learning how to use a command-line FTP client will be helpful to you in the future

ftp is a wonderful little program... who needs fancy GUIs, anyway?
