Once I'm Connected, How Do I Transfer Files?

< Previous

The exact steps for transferring files varies depending upon the program you use to connect to the server (Fetch, AbsoluteFTP, FTP Explorer, Internet Explorer, etc.). Many FTP programs and Web browsers support "drag and drop" as a method for copying files to and from these FTP servers. Alternatively, from a menu, you can choose to "put" or "upload" a file from your local drive to the selected folder on the FTP file server, or "get" or "download" a file from the selected folder on the FTP file server to your local hard drive.

For specific instructions, refer to the help files that are installed with the software you are using, or the online help that is available from the developers of the software.
