Uploading Files And Connecting To Ftp - using WsFtppro

OpaQue
The fastest, most reliable way to upload or download files is through FTP. If you don't already have your own Web page, read our reviews of over 80 free Webhost. If you don't have an FTP client, Download WS_FTP Pro now.

Step 1 - Connect your computer to the Internet.

Step 2 - Launch WS_FTP Pro by clicking on the WS_FTP Pro icon that's on your desktop. If you do not have a WS_FTP Pro icon on your desktop, click on the Start button and then select Programs, then WS_FTP, and then WS_FTP Pro.

Step 3 - Connecting to an FTP site:

When you open WS_FTP Pro, you're taken directly to the Connect to Remote Host Window. First, highlight the folder labeled MySites by clicking on it once. Once you've highlighted MySites, click on the Create Site button from the right-hand side (this will create a new site profile within the MySites folder).

When you clicked the Create Site button, the WS_FTP Pro Site Profile Wizard Window should have opened. Please enter your desired profile Name. This Name can be anything you want. It is use as the display name within the MySites folder.

Once you've enter the profile Name, click the Next button. The WS_FTP Pro Site Profile Wizard will now ask you for your Host Name or IP Address information:

Once you've entered the the Host Name or IP Address, click the Next button. The WS_FTP Pro Site Profile Wizard will now ask you for a User Id and Password.

Please enter YOUR USER NAME for the User Id and YOUR PASSWORD for the Password. Then check the Save Password checkbox, which will save your password so that you don't have to re-enter it every time you want to connect.

Once you've entered you User Id and Password (leave the Account field blank), click the Finish button. This will bring you back at the Connect to Remote Host Window. You'll notice a new folder for the FTP site has been added within the MySites directory.

We're now ready to connect. Click the Connect button and WS_FTP Pro will connect you to the FTP site. If you have speakers on your computer, you'll hear the sound when you've successfully connected.

The left side (or left pane) is a view of the files on your computer or your Local System. The right side is a view of the files on the FTP site or Remote System.

To transfer files between your local system and your remote system, first highlight the file by clicking on the file name once. Then click the appropriate green transfer arrow located between the right and left pane. The right arrow transfers files from the left side (your computer) to the right site ( Website) and visa versa.

Well,
FileZilla is open source and free, and is very easy to use.
AceFTP is also free , but ad supported... but very easy to use.

Search in Googlue for free FTP software or the above specific softwares!

I use Total Commander. U can then edit FTP connection or simply enter URL adrress of your FTP connection. ftp://yourusername:pass@server_adrress.
It was simple like Windows Explorer.

Cammy. Get Firezilla. Its the best out there. You can do everything. You can even send custom FTP commands to the server. It is also 100% free, not ad-supported and very simple to use.

You can have everything the modern FTP client has. Drag and Drop uploading and downloading, uploading and downloading process screen, server list and much, much more. It is also the fastest FTP client i've used. Evar.

I would really say for you to use Filezilla. 100% free. I'll edit this post with a download link now.

I am using SmartFTP but it will not connect. It keeps saying:

Resolving host name "ftp://ftp.itek.trap17.com/"
[16:52:49] Unable to resolve host name.
[16:52:49] Active Help: http://www.smartftp.com/support/kb/81
[16:52:49] Cannot login waiting to retry (30s)...

What am I doing wrong here?

I would suggest you to use CuteFTP as your file manager. It's best in the sense it resumes uploading from the broken connections & then it simultaneously can have too many connections uploading many a files at the same time, saving your precious time. I myself use it & never got any problem other than from the server's side.

It also has an easy to use interface, just click the New connection button and put the ftp info ther & you're done. CuteFTP is simply the best.

As i said before, i only used dreamweaver built in ftp client, and very very rarely the windows symbol system that allows to conect to ftp, or the graphic ftp through internet or windows explorer instances, but as i heard about fireftp, i thought it would be really great to try, i love fire extensions for my lovely browser hehe...

But i did find it very annoying, it slows the hell down all firefox windows, gets me a lot of errors and sometimes it disconects. I didnot feel happy with it, so i downloaded filezilla, which im using to upload joomla right now, and it has been nice since the beggining so... make yer choice, what i say is that i wouldnt recommend fireftp (i used in two win xp different machines)...

i'm currently using WS_FTP Pro 9.1 (haven't upgraded to Pro 2006, gonna purchase it soon). Before I found WS_FTP, I was using CoreFTP Lite which was not bad. It should be easy to upload files and connect using Ftp with WS_FTP as long as you have an account and the ftp username password. BTW, thanks OpAqUE for the tutorial...
