--> Featured Tips
We have been featuring a number of FTP tips in the
FTPplanet.com blog. In case you missed them, here
are three recent tips. Don't forget to check the
blog at
http://www.ftpplanet.com for more!
Tip #1: 'Retry Transfer' Options
You can tell WS_FTP how to react to failed transfer
by setting the retry options.
Open the Options screen (Tools > Options) and then
choose 'Transfers' from the left-hand column. The
first two options let you tell WS_FTP how many times
to retry failed transfers and the delay between
retries.
If you don't want WS_FTP to retry failed transfers,
set the number of retries to zero.
Tip #2: Changing Filenames During a Transfer
In WS_FTP, you can easily change the name of a file
during the transfer.
Highlight the file that you would like to transfer
but instead of transferring it as you would normally,
hold down the 'CTRL' key and then transfer the file.
WS_FTP will prompt you for a destination filename.
Simply enter the new name and click 'OK' to start
the transfer.
Tip #3: Checking Transfer Information Before Transfer
To quickly check the total size of the files and
folders you are transferring, highlight what you want
to transfer, then right click and choose Properties.
In addition to the total size of your transfer, you
can also see how many files are included in the
transfer and other properties.

--> Featured Article: 'Memory Cards'
Thanks to our friends at ACD Systems, we have a
great article up on digital camera memory cards
and what you need to know about them.
Here is a quick excerpt: "Everyone who buys a digital
camera finds out sooner or later (and more often
sooner) that the amount of memory available either
on board or on the card that came included is not
enough. Whether it's a single important event or a
weekend trip, most of us as camera users will want
more than the standard 8-16MB (megabytes) of included
memory so that we can take plenty of pictures at
maximum quality before running out of card space."
