FTP
TIP: Submitted
Tip, Sort by
Extension
This week's
tip comes to
us courtesy of
FTPplanet
community
member da_dawg:
"I have
several sites
that have
large numbers
of files:
photos, mp3,
php, exe's,
and more. The
Sort by
extension
option is a
major
advantage,
because I
don't have to
search for the
titles (which
I
don't always
recall), but
by sorting the
files using
extensions, I
can find the
php files or
the exe files
that need to
be updated or
edited. It's
an awesome
feature!!!!"
To sort by
extension,
simply hold
down the
'Ctrl' key and
click on
the 'Name'
header.
Da_dawg wins
an FTPplanet
'Third Trip
Around the
Sun' t-shirt
and
a copy of
WS_FTP Pro.

This
week's
FTPplanet Site
of
the
Week
is
from
FTPplanet
community
member,
Swicken:
"http://www.comical-ali.com
is a
site
about
the
iraqi
information
minister
with
quotes
pictures,
and
merchandise."
Swicken
receives
a
limited
edition
FTPplanet.com

being

Site
of
the
Week.

Sites
"Rootsweb.com
offers
Freepages as
personal web
space. It is
free,
and
unlimited.
Rootsweb.com
is the
largest free
genealogy
site in the
world.
However, in
addition to
hosting
genealogy
web pages,
there are
communities
for those
who have
interests in
other
subjects,
such as
occupations,
hobbies,
etc. These
pages are
for personal
use only,
and
may not be
used for
commercial
purposes.
I appreciate
the fact
that I can
add
unlimited
pages to my
website. I
don't care
for the
advertising
banners
which
Rootsweb
adds to my
pages. They
recently
increased
the size of
the banners
to the width
of the
entire
screen. I
feel these
new banners
detract from
the overall
appearance
of my site.
The ads
themselves
seldom have
anything to
do with my
subject
matter,
either.
Overall,
Freepages
provide a
great option
for those
who want to
post
personal
pages, and
don't want
to be
hindered by
the space
requirements
of other
services. If
you can live
with the
ads, and
don't
mind not
having your
own domain
name, this
might be
something to
look into."
