Hi Robert,
I don't know how your web-hosting package is set-up, but I have set-up 3 web-sites, including one which gets updated reasonably frequently, and I have yet to find that I need ANY FTP program. Both web-hosting companies I use offer C-panel controls for the web-hosting which means I do all uploading, file moving, deleting, re-naming etc, etc from the web browser. To get into C-panel I just enter www.mydomain.com:2082 (obviously mydomain.com would be you actual domain name) and I get asked for my login name & password and then I'm on the C-panel page with all manner of domain management tools at my disposal - from creating email accounts to downlaading web statistics. To upload a file I just go to the 'file manager', navigate to the folder I want to upload to (eg public_html) and click the 'upload' button - I am then asked to select the files I want to upload and there is a 'browse' button to let me navigate through my hard drive to the files I need - and that's all there is to it :o) Most web-hosting packages I see advertised seem to offer C-panel and over the years the feature set seems to keep expanding - there are now video tutorials from within C-panel - though I found it all so intuitive that I haven't got around to watching any! Anyway, just my 2c worth - I really was amazed at how easy it all is nowadays! Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
