Make Your Own Web Page with Composer:

Free FTP program for you

WS_FTP

FTP means file transfer protocol, which means it is the program that "sends" your web page information to your server space

There are, of course, many ftp programs,  but I've always stuck with the simple WS_FTP, one of the originals

The version I have loaded here is small enough to use anywhere, and best of all, it is free
