Many people do not know that they have a free FTP client in their computers! It is not the best but it is free and you can find it almost in every computer with windows. So if you want to upload files to yoursite or just browse some freely available FTP sites, read on.
A Free FTP Client In Your Computer
- Double click on My Computer and type the FTP
address in the text box labeled Address located on the
top of My Computer window or you can do the same in
Internet Explorer, type the address like that:
ftp://youraddress.com (example: ftp://ftp.linux.com)
and press Enter.
- If the server allows anonymous access, you will see
the folders of the ftp server immediately as if they
were folders in your computer. Right click on any
folders or files, choose Copy and Paste those folders
or files anywhere in your computer or simply Drag and
Drop the files you want to download. You can download
as many files as you like from the thousands of freely
available FTP servers, just search the Internet.
- If the FTP server does not allow anonymous access
or if you simply want to update your own site, you will
get a window asking you to provide the user name and
password to access your FTP server. You can also check
"Save password" if this is your computer to log on
automatically afterwards.
- If you have the suitable permissions, you can upload files to your FTP server easily by Dragging and Dropping files just like working with local folders in your computer.
- Right click on a file, choose properties and you
will be able to change permissions for this file
easily.
- Select any file or folder and press F2 to rename it.
