You've been on here for a year and half and you don't know what an FTP client is? Anyway, FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol and and FTP Client is software that connects to you server to upload/download files. I use Cute FTP which has worked rather well, but there are many others out there. Try google.

Did you ride the short bus to school when you were a kid?

Wikipedia says an FTP client uses the FTP protocol to connect to an FTP server to transfer files. If you would like to know more check this out...

http://freeware.aceftp.com is the best free one I've tried. Some HTML editing programs have FTP software built in.

[Dagwolf]

SmartFTP is good too.

[Ace-wtf]

ws_ftp is a good one but costs

AceFTP pro costs, but the free one has always met my needs.

hi,

you can use TOTAL COMMANDER
or if you need it for galleries,
you can use CHAMELEON TGP AUTO SUBMITTER TOOL

see step 5 in CHAMELEON TUTORIAL
.

[SlamDesigns]

SmartFTP is good too.

That's what I use. It works great.

[SleightOfHand]

ws_ftp search it on google

you can download and use it for free if your using it for non commercial purposes.

basically, it will ask you what you will be using it for; i chose transfering files for school purposes.

however, the connection will die after 2 min. and you have to reconnect. its a pain in the ass, but you won't have to pay for it either.

hope this helps

You can just use Internet Explorer if you want. Just type ftp://ftp.whatever.com and there you go. Now upload the files by dragging them from your explorer window into IE and that´s all you need to do.
