ftp programs

[Gene C]

when I first started to do a website. I used the site self builder, than I went or tried to learn dreamweaver. I have now for got how to use it. and so I have changed over to frontpage 2000 that is built into my preiumn copy of office 2000.

I just got my 2003 copies of the windows programs ect. I was thinking of installing FP 2003 or office xp pro.

but, I have found out it is or it seems to be a lot better to use a ftp program. I have a few and a friend just sent me a link to ftp explorer to play with??

bottom line here is what do you use or like best. It muct be useable by a dummie like me.

I personally like the simple interface of WS_FTPLE. You can use it for free when used for Home and personal use (hint hint remember this at setup time ;))

You can download it free without having to fill out any forms from http://www.chemistry.hut.fi/download/freeware/Windows/ws_ftple/

and here is a simple tutorial on it

I used to use WS_FTP and it is a great little progy. I have since switched over to Cute FTP PRO. not free.
