Default I need some ftp help please
I know this is not aquarium related, but I need to ask one of the resident computer gurus how to use Internet Explorer to ftp files. I can gain access to my web space, but have no idea how to use IE to transfer files. I always used WS_FTP, but I now get a 550 access denied error. The company hosting my website is not providing a lot of assistance.

I usually recommend cuteftp. Very simple and easy program.

Now do you have your FTP info for your website (should either be a IP address, or name based).

If you have that (along with username/password), you can use IE, by typing it in the address field above; eg:

ftp://ftpserver/url-path

But since you'll probably want to use your username/password:

ftp://userassword@ftpserver/url-path

Let me know if that works for you.

If you want a free FTP client, try FileZilla

http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla

You forgot the sarcastic smilie. I know you weren't serious Steve unless you prefer to do things the hard way. I prefer Drag and Drop over typing. Have you tried transferring a multi-level directory with the built-in FTP?

Neato! I thought you were talking about the FTP program that runs when you type "ftp" on the commandline. Didn't realize Windows Explorer has FTP built-in.

just use internet explorer actualy then instead of a web address (http://) type the ftp address (FTP://) and it becomes a explorer based ftp.

Teevee Flash is awsome, I use it for different purposes but for uploading files to my webspace and mannaging ect.. the windows one is way way simpler. and no nag screens
