If you don't mind typing commands you can do all that in terminal just
fine. Just type ftp and the server name, put in your username and
password and then you can use the cd command to change directories and
the put or get commands to move files back and forth. Easiest if you cd
to the folder on your computer with the files you want to upload before
doing the ftp command. So if your files are on your desktop in a folder
called upload you would first do "cd Desktop/upload" before doing ftp.
If you forget you can also do lcd which tells ftp to change the local
directory to whatever you put in rather than the directory on the
server. If you are using a secure site you can also do sftp the same
way. You'll also want to note whether transfers default to Binary as not
all FTP servers do this. If not you can change it by typing the "binary"
command. Otherwise uploads like images and audio will get mangled.

Hi all,
What do you use to upload files on a server via ftp? Say for updating a web
page? Downloaded filezilla but don't find it particularly easy to use or set up.
Thanks,
Ioana
