How To Use An  FTP Client
A Short Story By EiDgraphitebull
  Ok, I'm not  even going to try to cover all the fine points of  the File Transfer Protocol. Suffice it to say that most things that you download from  ithe Internet are actually transferred to your computer by FTP. It is basically somewhat like the Zone, in that there is a main server  and you will connect to it thru an IP address, and you must use a  username and password.  The file you can download HERE is CuteFTP Pro, my personal favorite, but by far not the only client available. So let's get on with how to get to all the fun stuff!

  Now for a bit of fraud, inside the .zip you downloaded there is an
.exe file and a .reg file .The .exe is obviously the installer, you just double klik it and watch it go! After install, quit the application and double klik the .reg file. This will register your copy so just answer yes/ok to both windows that open and  you are done!And a criminal!!heehee.

  Now you can restart the program and input the required info.
Once it has started go to the menu and klik om
FILE then  on NEW then on FTP SITE, or hit Cntrl-N. The window that opens is where you enter the specific info for the FTP site you are trying to connect to.
You are almost done! Really!
  For the label put:
graphiteFTP
  For the Host Address :
[  contact EiDgraphitebull for IP}
  For the User Name: 
anonymous [case sensetive!]
  For the Password : [leave this blank]
  Next hit the
TYPE tab at the top of the window and make sure    that the PORT is set to: 21
Well  thats it! Just klik the connect button and you are FTP'ing!

TO DOWNLOAD FILES:

  Once you have connected [which may take a few minutes]
you will see 3 windows  On the
left is your computer, on the right is the server and the bottom window is the queue. If  you navigate to the folder you want to download to on the  left , to the folder  that contains the file that you want on the right, and drag the file from right window to left, it will start the download!
 
See isn't that easy? Thats all you need to know to take advantage of the
Wild World of FTP!! Don't forget to explore CuteFTP Pro, and the myriad of other FTP sites out there!
