What is an FTP client?
An FTP Client is software that is designed to transfer files back-and-forth between two computers over the Internet. It needs to be installed on your computer and can only be used with a live connection to the Internet. Most FTP client software packages use a two-pane design. The pane on the left displays the files on your computer and the pane on the right displays the files on JBackup . File transfers are as easy as dragging-and-dropping files from one pane to the other or by highlighting a file and clicking one of the direction arrows located between the panes.
This is a program that contacts the server. These programs generally work like a file manager. For the settings you can read the welcome email you received that contains your login information. |Up| • Where can I get such a FTP program? These programs are often found in shareware or freeware (free) versions on e.g. www.tucows.com or www.download.com. Good programs are SW_FTP and Cute-FTP. |Up| • What does “connection refused” mean? Probably, you are using the wrong login or password, check this by logging onto the control panel. A local firewall can also block the connection, turn it off or open gate 21. |Up| • I have uploaded my site but can’t see it. Make sure the homepage of your site is called index.html or index.htm (all letters in lowercase!!). You are to upload your files in the directory /home/
