[funhousegroup]

Howdy gang.
Can anybody tell me the commands that I need to use to FTP up my flash and html files to and existing directory on my server. I ussually use a wsywig editor that does all the upoading for you.
I dont want to delete my home page or do anything stupid.
Did not know where else to post this type of question.
Thanks, funhouse

Probably the easiest way is to grab a program like cute-ftp or my personal favourite WS-FTP (http://www.ipswitch.com) Makes life a LOT easier. For other programs try a search on Downloads.com or Tucows.

Actually, using windows the easiest why is to log into your ftp server using IE (it should ask for username and password) and then copy and paste the files....IE and Windows explorer work together on this and while it may not be best for doing a lot of ftp work, especially downloads, it does work well for the occaisional upload.

I guess I will try cute ftp or one of the others. As far as using windos an explorer I am not quite sure how to do. Maybe you could explain with a little more detail.
Thanks. Funhouse

In IE you enter your ftp address, it will popup asking for your username/password. Then it will show your folders. When you double click on a folder it will open explorer, from there it is just like transferring from one directory to another on your hard drive.

I shall like to try that. Sounds much more intuitive than using ftp command from DOS.
Funhousegroup thanks you
