FTP TIP CONTEST WINNER

Congratulations to krazzyj. His posted tip on mass produced HotDrop
folders wins our FTP Tip contest -- krazzyj won a free copy of WS_FTP
Pro!

"Navigate to the FTP site of your liking and right click in the host window.
Create a hot folder and save it locally. Now comes the real fun. Create
yourself a new folder in the folder on your computer containing your website
and copy the .FHF file there. Open the file in Notepad and modify the copy's
entry to display any folder you need access to on your server. I have
created a small collection of links for our office's web site and it has
saved me hours of navigating through the ftp server when I am trying to
upload a file. Once your hot folder is modified to your liking and saved
as a new name you can use it by dragging and dropping a file to the .FHF
link. The method of creating Hot folders is nothing new to many but the
ability to quickly reproduce many more hot folders without the need to first
navigate to the specific folder can save alot of time - especially if you
are on a high latency connection.

Example .FHF file:
[config]
interface=0
destfolder=MySites!THESITENAME:/wwwroot/
localfolder=C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Desktop\Web Site\

This small text file can be re-saved to your collection folder and over a
small amount of time you too can have a HOT folder for your most
trafficked FTP areas!"
