3. For the site name, type in Network OS, for the host address type in ftp.yourdomainname.com (ex. ftp.netos.com), type in your username and password, and then click Connect. Once connected, you will see two windows, on the left hand side is the files on your hard drive, on the right hand side is the files on the web server. To upload files, simply drag and drop them from the left window to the right window.

WS FTP

1. After installing WS_FTP, double click to open it. First click on the New button, then proceed to fill out the form similar to what is shown here.
