3. How to transfer files

Some things to know:

After connecting to your web site, a window similar to this will appear.

Figure-2 (Basics)

Notice that the FTP window is split into two sections in the figure above. When you connect to a site, your computer will be on the left side, under section "Local System" and the remote computer will be on the right, under "Remote System". Local System will display the current path, files and drives on your computer. Remote System will display the current path, files and drives on the remote computer you are connected to.

Directly under the label "Local System" you will find a file listing. The top box will contain your current path (in the above figure, this would be "C:\My Web") And the bottom box will contain a listing of the files in the current directory. The Remote System will contain the same type boxes, only displaying the remote computer's information.
