About FTP
FTP means File Transfer Protocol. It is a method used to transfer files over the Internet. Both FTP software and Internet Explorer
uses drag-and-drop functionality, so that it acts the same as your computer desktop.
Should you be disconnected: FTP Timeout means that you were idle for more then a few minutes and it disconnected you.
You may have to reconnect on your ftp client.
There are many different software programs you can download or buy for FTP. Here are a few links to some popular FTP programs,
some with free trials.
You can also use the browser Internet Explorer as an FTP agent. Click to see instructions.
Click here if using Internet Explorer 7
Click here if using Internet Explorer 6
Please remember that FTP is not secure, so operate safely just as you would with your email communications. Please be cognizant of this when sharing files through FTP
and never post confidential or financial information that you would not email.
Please note that the Firefox browser does not enable FTP.
