Thanks very much for your replies. It shall have a look at the manually
ftp'ing something. Sounds like a longer term project!! I think though I
would really like to make sure I am getting the obvious right ie...
user = ftp.mywebsite.com
password = 'xxxxxxx' (please note the password is in one set of
inverted commas..??)
server = www.mywebsite.com
<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mywebsite.com&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEUaPpfb55uiTJhumgi34insNOPzw>
# The ftp server name, e.g$
path = /default.html # The destination directory, e.g., /weather
Am I correct in putting the user = ftp.etc ? The server as my web address
www.etc? and also /default as the path? I shall remove the '' and see
what happens
Many thanks for your help
Richard
