Create a network location for FTP Articles
If you are not able to install an FTP program or are having issues with one, you can use Windows explorer (not internet explorer) to connect via FTP.

 

Open Computer and click on "this PC". You should see your C: Drive and any other drives.

 

Right click in the area in white, and choose "Add a Network Location"

Click "Next"

Select the "Choose a Custom network location and hit "next"

In the internet or network address, enter ftp://yourftphostname.  Hit "next"

 

Uncheck "log on anonymously" and enter your username, brinkster\yourusername

Hit "next" and enter a name for the connection (will show this in your computer).

 

Confirm it and it should save.  Go back into your computer and you should see the newly created network location near your C: drive.

 

When you connect, it will ask for the password.  


 

You can now see the files.  To make changes Drag the files over to your desktop or someplace to work.  Edit them in a text document (notepad ++ works well), save it and copy it back over to upload it back to the server.

 

You should see it listed in your computer under network locations now to connect at a later point
