frustration with ftp setup

Jim · 2006-03-18, 07:27 AM

When I started, I really had no idea what an ftp client was. Netscape, the only browser worth using was my ftp client. That and whatever Microsoft called Windows Explorer back then. When someone told me about wsftp, it made my life a lot easier.

Jim do you mean webshell FTP? That's what I have currently, and I can't seem to figure out how to organize the directories/subdirectories/folders ect to make my simple 4 page site upload from my wysiwgy software.

Kinky, I have yet to figure it out, and am ripping my hair out of my head as I type.My FTP client is WebShell.

Oh, your trying to upload your files using your page creation/editing software. If you can't figure it out, I'd suggest you upload the pages with a real FTP program. I personally use both FlashFXP and CuteFTP. SmartFTP has a free version. I wish I could help you, but I can't find my way around those WYSIWYG editors.

if you want a really good free ftp client ws_ftp95 is free, you can download it here: http://www.ccs.uottawa.ca/download/index.html

it's the WS_FTP LE 5.08 for Windows 95/98

I've never tried uploading with editor software, just save the files into a folder on your comp and upload with a seperate ftp client like others said before

yes Jim I was trying to remember the name of the old Netscape browser, it was Netscape Navigator wasn't it? it was either that or my AOL 1.0
