How To Upload Files to an Ftp Server

This explains how to upload a file to an FTP server, with Windows Explorer. (This comes with Windows).

Steps:
  1. Find out the "URL" of the FTP Server that you want to upload to, for example; ftp://example.example.com
  2. Go into "My Computer" and right-click on some empty space. "Click Add Network Location". If this isn't there, go to step 9.
  3. A setup wizard should pop up. Click the next button.
  4. Select the "Custom Network Location" button and click next.
  5. Type the link from before (ftp://example.example.com)
  6. If this is a non-passworded FTP, then tick the "sign in anonymously" box. If you need a username and password uncheck this, and type in your username.
  7. Then type a name for the location (it could be "Example Server" or something)
  8. Click next and finish, and it should work. It might prompt you for your password; if so type this in and press enter.

'Add Network Location' Solution

  1. In the location bar (that says something like "C:/Users/Example), type in the FTP address from before (ftp://example.example.com).
  2. It might prompt you to log in, in which case put in the appropriate username and password.
