Re: FTP

[Ahmed Abdou]

Hi Ahmed,
 

About ftp, it's short for file transfer protocol, each ftp site requires a user name and a password of course to prove you are a member of that site, but a lot of the ftp sites are for anonymous login (random login - free login) all you need is the name of the ftp server, try these:

 

http://freeware.intrastar.net/ftp.htm

 

that sites has lots of ftp clients (like cuteFTP)

 

and you can always try chaning any sites from

 

http://www  to

 

ftp://ftp  and try, some will not work but some will

 

here is also another place where you can download ftp clients:

 

http://www.download.com/3150-2160-0-1-1.html?legacy=cnet

 

another thing, you can always use internet explorer for viewing ftp, even reguler windows explorer will work, but they don't have the options found on ftp clients

 

also the Free Download Manager can work as a nice ftp client, i personally use that.

 

try this site as a test:

 

ftp://ftp.netscape.com/

 

it might not have many things but it is good for trying to browse it to get to know ftp.

 

one more thing, if you have DSL at home, you can make your own ftp site so you can use it from any place to get your files :)   call me if you need more information on that.

 

at the end i need you to check this link
