3.
FTPing
files using your web browser
If you have a 4.x or higher version of Netscape or
Internet Explorer you can also FTP download and upload files using your web browser.
This is NOT recommended for uploading your site or
transferring a large number of files. This is only for the convenience of being able
to upload or download a small number files from within your browser.
To get FTP access to your site using a browser, type in the
following URL in the URL bar at the top of your browser:
ftp://<yourdomainname.com>
Where <yourdomainname.com> is your domain name.
For example, if your your domain name is:
website.com, then
the URL you type would be:
ftp://website.com
Once you type this in and hit enter, you will see your /ftp
directory listed in the browser and you will be "rooted" there. Being
rooted in the /ftp directory means that you can not traverse to the directory above it.
You will also be restricted to the "world" and "group" rights
assigned to each directory and file. The directories will appear as links which you
can click on to traverse into them.
A) Downloading a file:
You can then right click on a file and select the "Copy
to Folder" option to save the file on your local hard drive.
B) Uploading a file:
You can select a file or group of files from your hard drive
using Explorer and then right clicking and selecting the "Copy" option.
Then, switch over to your browser where you are already FTP connected to your site, right
click on a directory and select the "Paste" option. This will FTP upload
the files from your workstation to the directory you right clicked on in your site.
