Question

I have 50 Mb sitting at BT, and since my 30 days free trial with Cuteftp ran out I've done nothing with it.

I've heard that I can use XP - anyone know how?

you use the following command in your windows browser / IE

ftp://usernameassword@ftp.address.here.ok

is that ok?

then you can use your webspace like any other window folder - you can drag/drop or copy/paste files as you would on your hard drive.

As BuRR said above. Or download one of the many free FTP clients from somewhere like http://www.download.com

Thanks chaps. I've just tried it unsuccessfully from work, and then found out that the IT chaps have prevented ftp.

I'll try tonight from home.
