Brenden,
I use webhost4life.com and it's very simple. I used Front Page extensions.

Brenden:
I noted that you mentioned "Word" as one of the programs for which you need this feature. Word has the ability to open a document on an FTP server, edit the document and send it back.
What you need to do is select "file", "open" and click "my network places" and click "add a folder", "create a new networkplace", and set up the ftp location. Once this is done you can then open documents on the ftp server that you set up, edit them and when you do a save it will send it back to the server.
The hard part is setting up the network place. This should work for any "Office" product, but I have only tried it in Word.

Subject: [WS_FTP Forum] Can FTP Pro work like Windows Explorer
Hi all,
I have a (hopefully) simple question on ftp client software.
I need an FTP client that lets me open, edit and save files back to the FTP in one go, just like if you ran it locally.
I've set up FTP (WS FTP server) access to our fileserver for remote staff but you know how hopeless end users are. I cant expect them to download file, edit as they wish and then have them upload it.
The process is far to long for them.
From what I've found the closest is Cute FTP client. It lets you run the file over the FTP connection. It does this in the background downloading the file to a temp directly and running it from there. But if you try and save the file it points back to the local folder. Its half way there.
I wonder if WS FTP Pro could do the whole thing. I see that there is an SDK available so does anyone know if this has been created.
So in short I need a FTP client that behaves like Windows Explorer folders, it opens files and saves files with out appearing to download them and the hassle of uploading them.
I hope you get what I mean.
I really appreciate any help on this.
Thanks,
Brenden
