How to Use WS-FTP

WS-FTP is a file transfer progam that allows you to move files from your personal computer to a web or file server. This is especially helpful when uploading web pages and graphics.

When you start WS-FTP, you will be presented with a login screen, asking for your:

  1. Profiles Name: This is a name you can use to identify and save the connection
  2. Host Name/Address: This is the name of the server you will be FTPing to ie www.allstream.net
  3. Host Type: Choose Automatic Detect from the avaliable choices
  4. User ID: Use the username you have withe the system you are FTPin into. For Example, if you are uploading pages to your Allstream Personal Pages, you would use your ALLSTREAM username.
  5. Password: Use your password to the above account.
  6. Account: Leave Blank.

You can now check the Save Password box if you like, and click the OK button to connect you with the server. You will now be presented with a new, split screen. The left side will display the contents of your personal computer, and the right side will display the contents of your directory on the FTP server.

In order to upload files, simply navigate to the directory on your home computer, using the ChgDir button on the left. Once you have found the files you would like to upload, you can highlight them and then click the arrow button in in the middle of the screen that points to the right. This is the upload button.
In the event you want to download a file from the server, you can hightlight the file on the right and click the arrow pointing to the left.
