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!

[rvovk]

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.

Yea filezilla is a kool ftp client program. I have been using it for some time now.

[Cammy]

Ive checked, cute, commander and some others. Most of those are not free anymore. Im still looking

[Xedos]

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.

http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/

[Cammy]

Ill put the link on my favourites in case. In the meantime Im on to program 4 lol its called ftp wanderer. Its free so far. Ill let you know if it worked.

[Xedos]

Oh damn. I forgot to edit my post. Anyway, done now. Hope you try it out.

Link: http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/

It really is a good program. Free, and you can trust sourceforge downloads, can't you? Even though they have the most annoying download system ever. I hate choosing a mirror everytim I download. *Rants*.

[SilentWarrior]

Ive been using smartFTP as its easy to use and works pretty well. Now there are alot of differant ftp programs but what are the differances between them? Is there better than smartFTP and why?

[fsastraps]

I originaally used CuteFTP, but then at some point it stopped working, then I got WS Ftp pro, and dreamweaver MX, and i tryed connecting with both of them and it still gives me an error!
What can i do, because it is really anoyi8ng having to load from the normal file manager.

[Casanova]

Surf FTP is program i use. Of all the ones I have tried, this one loads the fastest and has no ads whatsoever. The download is also less than a megabyte too. I can even run it from a thumbdrive!

[abazzams]

Everytime I try to upload a file it will upload for a split second and then say "Disc quota exceeded." What do I do?

[Phi]

If you ask me smartFTP would be a good one(in my opinion) , because it is simple yet easy to use., plus you they have no advertisements , its free , and its smart .If you want it you can download it here http://www.download....4-10362660.html . (For those of you who have never downloaded anything from download.com)(Don't worry it does not contain any viruses or trojans or anything like that. It is pure safe. They scan the downloads before they even put it up.)

it means that either the host has given you a limit of space and you have and your trying to upload something that would overload the sever which why it says "Disc Quota Exceeded" .

Windows Ftp is easy.
I just use that.

[mama_soap]

My two cents for those who are on Linux - I recently discovered that Konquerer seems to be an excellent FTP client. It's very easy to transfer files using the grapic drag-n-droppish interface I didn't even bother to download another ftp client after I found this web browser +plus+ ftp client... although I still use the file manager for changing permissions; haven't quite figured out how to manipulate that using Konquerer.

[Keeper]

I don't know how to use it And what i can find there...

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...

[Lozbo]

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)...
