My ISP gave me an ftp address ftp.txucom.net to use. I have no idea on setting it up. I have used FTP sites at work to send and recieve large CAD files. I am doing freelance cad work and need to do the same thing from home. I have just always taken this procedure for granted, because someone else has always already had it setup. Would anyone mind taking the time to walk me slowly thru the process of setting this up? I really would appreciate it if you would contact me via my personal e-mail. Thank you -- James W.

It's a simple proceedure, but varies slightly among FTP clients. I use WS_FTP from Ipswitch, which has a free version available at http://www.ipswitch.com/downloads/index.html (bottom of list, "LE" version is free) Setup merely involves storing your user/password and ftp addy into the program. Usage is then point and click, or drag-and drop. Since you have previous ftp experience, you won't have a problem once the info is entered. You may wish to use the same software as you use at work, but the same basic information is all that is needed to log into the ftp server; the process should be similar for your preferred program client. http://www.ipswitch.com/Support/WS_FTP/guide/wsftpug76/01intro.html http://tutorial.ftpplanet.com/LE/ Pepperoni
You may be correct. We'll probably never know for sure, since he expects an expert to e mail him rather than posting to the thread. Since this is cross- posted so severely, he's probably forgotten where to look. If you are correct, his ISPs ftp addy is not going to work for his purposes. If he does check back, he may want to look into server software, like: http://www.ipswitch.com/products/ws_ftp-server/index.html (free evaluation software is available) This one runs in the background on your pc, includes encryption and since it is from Ipswitch--- probably very simple to use.
