Hi,

There are a variety of ways you can upload to an FTP server. If you are comfortable doing this from the command-line instead of the GUI, you can bring up Terminal (from Finder, use Command-Shift-U to navigate to the Utilities folder, where you can find and open the Terminal app.. Switch to the directory or folder that contains the file, then connect to the ftp server.

For example, to transfer a file in your Documents folder, after opening Terminal

cd Documents
ftp <username>@<server_address>
type your password in response to the prompt
put <filename>

Many FTP servers support SecureShell (SSH) for login and SFTP to encrypt your logins and data. In that case you can use sftp instead of ftp to upload files. Other apps that people on the list use are Cyberduck, which is freeware, or Transmit, which is about $29 and supports the most features, speed and stability if you do frequent file transfers.

HTH

Cheers,

Esther
