How does ftp work?

FTP means File Transfer Protocol. Its basically a different version of HTTP:// . A very easy way to access ftp site is by simply doing the following:

1) open internet explorer (firefox works but its less reliable)

2) use the following format in your address bar:

ftp://username:password@address

so if i was trying to access an ftp site called 'ftpexample.com'

with the username 'john' and password 'doe' it would look like this:

ftp://john:doe@ftpexample.com

if there is no username or password it would simply be this:

ftp://ftpexample.com

and if you needed to access a certain port:

ftp://john:doe@ftpexample.com:port

FTP = File Transfer Protocol. Not particularly so much to be taught approximately it, simply discover an FTP application and you'll switch documents to an FTP server. Most normal case is importing documents for a internet site.

If you have FireFox, get a GMail account and install the GSpace add-on from addons.mozilla.org/firefox
