I use Windows Explorer as a cheap, accessible, easy FTP client all the time.
It is not the most efficient or reliable FTP client, but it is fine for
limited use. I occasionally find that it hangs while uploading a file. It
happens most often when updating a file. Therefore, I usually delete the
old file first. Besides a familiar interface and simple cut and paste, I
especially like that it is available all the time since it is mapped as a
drive and I have it mounted at startup. I use Vista so I do not know if
this is available in XP.
To copy a file to my server all I have to do is press Control + c on a file
I want to upload. I then press Windows + e to bring up a new Windows
Explorer "Computer" window. I press the End key to go to the bottom of the
list, where my network drive is listed. I can hit Enter to get a list of
files and folders on my server. Simply pressing Control +v now will upload
the file!
To set this up, open Windows Explorer and select "Map network drive from the
Tools menu. Tab around to see all of the options. I check the box to mount
automatically at startup. Press Enter on the "Connect to a Web site that
you can use to store your documents and pictures." link.Follow the
directions. Most are straight forward. Make sure to uncheck the Anonymous
login if you have a Username and password for the site. when it asks for a
site address, typically this will be the web address without the username
portion, such as:
My website is
http://mysite.verizon.net/marangs/
So for the ftp site address I use
ftp://mysite.verizon.net/
and "marangs" is the Username.
