Hi- Do you have a tutorial or any training documents that can help me create an FTP account?

I have the FTP credentials including my username and password for our organization's Web site, however, I need step-by-step guidance on how to set up the account so I can post upload files.

Thanks, Brian

Download Filezilla FTP client from the link given above. Install it. The FTP client asks for host name, probably your website's domain name like something.com . Provide username and password. Use port 21 .That's all.

Thanks, I'll try this. I also found some items under the Help section of Fire FTP.

Much appreciated.
