[Nfb-web] Windows FtP Help

[Sahar Husseini]

I use the FTP client that works with IE, and I just copy and paste.  The only problem is that doesn't work with all providers for some reason.  I had my Website since 2002, and that's what I always used successfully.  The only time that didn't work for me is when I wanted to upload something to the FTP server with my ISP.  Since they just provide something like 5MB, and I have a server that I use all the time with lots more space, I didn't worry about it.

Warm regards,

  Pete,

  Maybe I have been missing something all of these years but I am not
  familiar with the upload command in the Windows command line ftp app.
  To transfer files I always us get and put. However get and put
  typically only work for a single file. If you want to transfer
  multiple files like you are doing you need to use mget and mput.

  Windows FTP is great for scripting but why aren't you using a
  graphical ftp client. They generally are alot more feature rich. I
  personally like Core FTP.

  Hope this helps.
