hey...just wanted to let you guys know i found an easy FTP...if you have Windows ME or before, its in DOS. If you have WinXP, its the command prompt. type in

ftp myserver.com
' press enter

it will ask for a user name, type it in, same with password
then to transfer you have two options
send C:\My Documents\me.jpg'
or
put C:\My Documents\me.jpg'
it will put it into your server in the form of myserver.com/Documents/me.jpg

check it out! there's some other commands too at Windows FTP site

Yeah, it's been around a lot. I use the Linux version of FTP. Of course, there are other options:
cd change directory
mget get file
mput send file
prompt turns off/on prompt confirmation
ascii uploads in ascii
binary uploads in binary
help lists commands
mkdir make new directory
rmdir remove directory
chmod change permissions
bye quit exit exits ftp program
