WS_FTP LE

  1. Open WS_FTP LE from the programs section under the start menu.
  2. An identical window to the one below will appear.

  1. A session properties window will appear and you should fill in the required information.
    1. Profile Name: Give a name you will associate with the site you wish to connect to.
    2. Type in your host name in the next box.
    3. Set your host type to Automatic detect.
    4. Type in your user id and password and hit ok
  2. You will see the main FTP screen that is divided into two sides; the left would contain the local system directory and the right side is your directory on the given server.
  3. To connect to your remote server, hit the “connect” button.  
  4. The right side will become active, displaying directory paths and files.
  5. Use the green arrow buttons on the upper left hand corner to navigate up the directory by one level.
  6. Double click on an individual directory to move down one level.  
  7. Choose the type of file transfer you need.  It is normally already on binary and should be left there because this is the transfer type you need if you are transferring programs, web pages, pictures, Word documents and almost all kinds of files. If you are transferring text only files generated by a plain-text editor, you can choose ASCII.
  8. To transfer files, navigate until you have the directory you want to transfer files from on one side, and the directory you want to transfer files to on the other side. Highlight the file you want to transfer by clicking on it and click the arrow pointing where you want to transfer it to. 
  9. Close the ftp session by clicking the Close button at lower left when you finish transferring the files. 
  10.  Exit the program when done.
