FTP PROGRAM -

You may prefer to use an FTP application to transfer photos from your computer to your web space. There are a variety of such programs available, such as WS-FTP and Coffe Cup's Direct FTP. (We do not recommend any particular program.) If you use an auction management application, such as eBay's Seller's Assistant Pro, an FTP function may be built into that for your use.

In WS-FTP, you will complete the fields as described below. Other FTP programs may have different terminology, but this should indicate the information you'll need to enter into your FTP software.
