[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1186680, member: 190607"] FTP downloading (accessing files on a remote server) is built right into OS X, but not uploading (placing files from your Mac onto a remote server). You can use an FTP program to access an FTP site, but if you just need to download and upload a few files, the capabilities built-into OS X are both sufficient and very easy to use. - To download a file from an FTP server, in the Finder (that is, with your desktop showing) choose: Go menu --> Connect to Server, and enter the FTP server's address. The address will be in this form: "ftp://servername.com" - If the site requires a password, a small window will appear allowing you to enter it. - A new window will appear on your Mac's desktop for the FTP server looking much like a window for a folder on your hard drive. A list of all of the files on the FTP server will appear in the window. - Drag the file that you want to download out of this window. That's it. If you want to be able to upload files from your Mac just as easily as you can download them, try: Fire Widget (free) [url=http://buschfeuer.com/fire/]Fire Widget[/url] ___________________________________________ Randy B.
