WS_FTP is a simple software program based upon the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) which allows you to copy files both to and from your Web site. File Transfer Protocol, also called FTP is a protocol used to transfer files over a TCP/IP network (Internet, UNIX, etc.). It includes functions to log onto the network, list directories and copy files. It can also convert between the ASCII and EBCDIC character codes. FTP operations can be performed by typing commands at a command prompt or via an FTP utility running under a graphical interface such as Windows. FTP transfers can also be initiated from within a Web browser by entering the URL preceded with ftp://. Unlike e-mail programs in which graphics and program files have to be "attached," FTP is designed to handle binary files directly and does not add the overhead of encoding and decoding the data. 1.

Exhibit 1 shows the logon screen and where to enter your user information. Now that you've logged on it's time to upload your files to the server. The next screen helps you move your website files and folders to your web server. The transfer is as easy as pushing one of the two arrows in the center of the screen. This screen will give you a picture of your hard drive and the contents of the destination directory.
