Create a network location for FTP
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
