FTP Tutorial
This tutorial will teach you the basics of FTP. FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, and as you can probably guess, it is used to transfer files across the web. With the built-in FTP access of this program you can upload webpages you have written, along with images or any other file type, to your webserver.
First, you need to find out if your webserver supports FTP access, and if so what your logon details are. You should be able to find this out from your host's website. If you are using free webspace your username and password are usually the same as those you use to logon to that service's web-based file manager. Your URL is more than likely ftp.domain.com, in other words if your website is hosted at angelfire.com, then your ftp address would be ftp.angelfire.com. Also, The port is almost always 21.
When transferring files, you need to make sure you are using the correct transfer mode. Use ASCII when transferring text-based files, such as html files, and use binary for all other file types, such as images and programs.
This program's limitations: The FTP client included with this program does not feature CHMOD abilities. CHMOD is used to set permissions on your files, usually for CGI files. Look in the Resources section of this help file for more full-featured FTP programs.
