264395 2004-08-24 09:00:00 I use Smart FTP, cos after trying a lot of different ones, including cute ftp, that I got off a Netguide or PC World CD, that is the easiest one I have found to use. I just drag the files I want to upload into the upload box and it does it. LOL :D supergran (108)

264398 2004-08-24 12:54:00 I use FastStream Netfile server to upload to my pc from work etc, but for uploading web pages for my site I use the built in one in DreamWeaver..... I found that there are so many ftp clients that are similar in looks/use that I just swap every now and then and try a new one!!! davidb (5576)
264399 2004-08-24 23:06:00 Yes, GUI, graphical User Interface, as distinct from using Unix command line instructions such as in ftp.exe.

In some ftp windows programs, I used to use a win3.11 program, but forget it's name, you had an option to actually see the Unix commands whilst the Windows GUI was working, these commands like open, ls, get, put , dir, cd, quit, etc. are still being issued behind the Windows screen when you drag and drop , as are the responses back from the ftp site.

It's used in the same way as you use ftp via dos - just need to know the list of commands. But using it is nowhere near as slick and quick as using a good free ftp client with a GUI, such as WS_FTPle
