FTP Pro
You don't know how disconcerting
it is to go to the web, see the serves down only to receive
a email from your provider telling you the server side stepped
and the files are gone. This is when you need a copy of your
site on your hard drive. Many computers on the Internet support
FTP access.
FTP is a simple
way to interactively exchange files between computers. The FTP
program is designed specifically to simplify file access between
network computers. You may move from directory to directory
on a remote computer, examine the contents of its individual
directories, transfer files from the remote computer to your
computer, and put files from your local computer onto the remote
computer. FTP is extremely useful for transmitting data rapidly
between sites that are working jointly on projects. Using FTP
eliminates many of the usual considerations including the following:
Both computers aren't required to use the same types of floppy
disks or tapes to transfer files.
You can transmit large
files as is, you don't have to break up a file into several
smaller files because the larger file won't fit on a single
floppy disk or mail messages. You can FTP to a cheap web hosting
service where you have your own account and password, or some
systems allow anonymous FTP. Many facilities have information
they allow people without accounts on their computers to access.
These common types of connections are called anonymous FTP.
This means when you are logging on to a remote computer you
simply enter anonymous as the user name. The system gives you
instructions for entering an appropriate password. Often you
are asked to enter your e-mail address for the password. I have
listed below some great FTP programs down load site just follow

FTP Programs for Free FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
is the simplest and most secure way to exchange files over the
Internet and cheap web hosting services. Whether you know it
or not, you most likely use FTP all the time. The most common
use for FTP is to download files from the Internet. Because
of this, FTP is the backbone of the MP3 music craze, and vital
to most online auction and game enthusiasts. In addition,
the ability to transfer files back-and-forth makes FTP essential
for anyone creating a Web page, amateurs and professionals alike.
When downloading a file from the Internet you're actually transferring
the file to your computer from another computer over the Internet.
This is why the T (transfer) is in FTP. You may not know where
the computer is that the file is coming from but you most likely
know it's URL or Internet address. Most often, a computer with
an FTP address is dedicated to receive an FTP connection.
Just as a computer that is setup to host Web
pages is referred to as a Web server or Website, a computer
dedicated to receiving an FTP connection is referred to as an
FTP server or FTP site. What is an FTP Site? An FTP site is
like a large filing cabinet. With a traditional filing
cabinet, the person who does the filing has the option to label
and organize the files how ever they see fit. They also
decide which files to keep locked and which remain public. It
is the same with an FTP site. The virtual 'key' to get into
an FTP site is the UserID and Password. If the creator of the
FTP site is willing to give everyone access to the files, the
UserID is 'anonymous' and the Password is your e-mail address
(e.g. name@domain.com). If the FTP site is not public, there
will be a unique UserID and Password for each person who is
granted access.
When connecting to an FTP site that allows anonymous
logins, you're frequently not prompted for a name and password.
Hence, when downloading from the Internet, you most likely are
using an anonymous FTP login and you don't even know it. To
make an FTP connection you can use a standard Web browser (Internet
Explorer, Netscape, etc.) or a dedicated FTP software program,
referred to as an FTP 'Client'. When using a Web browser for
an FTP connection, FTP uploads are difficult, or sometimes impossible,
and downloads are not protected (not recommended for uploading
or downloading large files).
