FTP stands for File
Transfer
Protocol.
See our
LINK page for
shareware or paid programs.
Note: When
sending your project over we have less problems if you
compress your files into ONE file. The compression program we
use is Stuffit. Pdfs,
jpegs, most MS products don't seem to be affected

Why can't I
download my file?
Wouldn't it be nice if, when you clicked the Download Now button, the
file just landed on your desktop? Sadly, because of spyware and hacker
threats, your Internet browser may disable automatic downloads. Though
that keeps unscrupulous sites from installing "drive-by downloads," it
does add a step to the process.
For example, the latest versions of Internet Explorer (Windows XP
Service Pack 2) pop up a little yellow bar at the top of the screen
that informs you a download has been blocked. To continue the download,
you can right-click that bar (called an information bar), and select
Allow this download. Once you do that, you'll see a dialog box that
asks you to approve the download--redundant, of course, but secure.
Mozilla Firefox users will just see the dialog box.
Where did my download go?
One of the biggest problems with downloading files is figuring out
where they go once they're on your hard drive. Creating and using a
download folder eliminates that problem. Right-click your desktop and
hover your mouse pointer over New until a menu pops up. Select Folder
from that menu to create a new folder on your desktop. When the folder
appears, its name, New Folder, should be highlighted already, so you
can just type your name for it, such as Downloads. Though you don't
need to leave this folder on your desktop, make sure you remember where
you put it. When you start downloading a file, your computer will ask
you where you want it to go; specify your download folder, and you'll
always know where your files are.

list of files and folders currently in the uploads directory
of 70.89.134.186. Double clicking on a folder icon will
display the contents of that folder. This should only be done if you
are uploading a file to a particular folder in the uploads directory.

Be
aware that most operating systems (especially unix) do not work well
with files that have spaces in their names or if they do not have a
extension at the end of their name (myfile.psd).
- Click
the OK button to start the transfer of the file from your computer
to the FTP server. Once the tranfer is complete, close Fetch.
