Guest Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I have been using WS FTP pro for a few years as I purchased it. Can't get it to run on this new laptop, thinking maybe its a vista problem. I should call up their customer care and find out but I'm just too darned busy when they are open to remember. Then when they are closed I need to upload! I downloaded one called coffee cup which is free but if I try and do more than a couple of files, or any folders etc it actually crashes all my sites . One of them is rather key at the moment as we are using it to give information about a funeral. I've used online ones before but having to do one file at a time is too slow for me - I have a couple of sites actually ready to upload in their entirity and I also need to download the whole of my ICT site - which is HUNDREDS of files. Clever bods got any ideas? Fred maybe???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellekatz Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I use Core ftp at school which is free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I use Cyberduck, really easy to use and its free. Too bad its only for Mac users. For windows try FileZilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helenc Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I have Ipswitch WS FTP Pro which I paid for and it runs with vista, so it might be worth ringing as you have paid for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Don't worry Lorna, I'm thinking exactly the same! Is this something I need to know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Erm, what is a ftp? [Only slightly at my lack of knowledge!!] File Transfer Protocol - an FTP program communicates with a server in such a way as to facilitate the exchange of files on your pc to the server and back - for the building and management of websites. unless you design/build websites - you don't need to know! 1. has your web-authoring software not got inbuilt FTP? 2. if not - Filezilla does what it says on the tin - and is free! 3. have you downloaded most recent version of Ipswitch? If you are using the Home 2007 version - you probably need to download the vista-compatible version. Using version 2007? If you own WS_FTP Home 2007 or have an active Service Agreement, you can download the Vista compatible version with your serial number and email address at http://www.myipswitch.com.

Guest Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Thanks all I'll try firezilla I think. Phil thanks for that - I don't have a service agreement though so I may have to stump up again. I've been pushing updates to the band site most evenings but phoning during the day has just been impossible. I guess the updates aren't over yet either as we have the funeral tomorrow.
