The FTPplanet.com newsletter is sent out every other week.
Each issue is full of helpful FTP tips, FTP sites, product
reviews, and FTP-related news from FTPplanet.com.
Greetings,
This week's FTPplanet newsletter has a ton
of great information.
- Three FTP Tips
- How FTP Works
- Customizing Sounds in WS_FTP
--> Three FTP Tips
1. Using Refresh: If you've recently transferred
files but don't see them showing up in the local
or remote pane of your FTP client, try refreshing
the view (in WS_FTP 2006, you can do this by
pressing the 'Refresh' button in the local/remote
toolbar or by pressing the F5 key).
2. Active Edit: WS_FTP Professional's Active Edit
feature lets you easily update and edit files that
are on a remote server. FTPplanet has a tutorial
that takes you through the steps to set-up and use
Active Edit. Check it out here:

3. Desktop Transfers: Did you know that you can
utilize your desktop (or another Windows folder)
along with WS_FTP to transfer files? It's very
simple...just open a remote connection in WS_FTP
and drag-and-drop files between your desktop and
WS_FTP.
--> How FTP Works
An older edition of the WS_FTP User's Guide has
this excellent description of how FTP works:
"File Transfer Protocol uses the client-server
model: one computer (the FTP Host) runs a server
program "serving up" information to other
computers. The other computers run client programs
requesting information and receiving replies from
the server.
WS_FTP Pro turns your PC into an FTP client,
allowing it to communicate with virtually all
types of FTP sites. When your PC is connected to
the Internet (via a modem or local area network),
WS_FTP Pro can connect to any system that has a
valid Internet Address and contains an FTP server
program. Once connected to an FTP site, you can
download files, upload files, and copy files from
one FTP site to another."
--> Customizing Sounds in WS_FTP
You can easily change the sounds that WS_FTP plays
through the Windows Control Panel. How to get to
the Control Panel varies a little depending on your
Windows version and configuration, but it is usually
off the start menu in Windows XP and off the start
menu and then settings in Windows 98/Me.
In WS_FTP LE, you can change the sounds from within
WS_FTP. Click on 'Options' then the 'Sounds' tab.
A list of WS_FTP sounds that you can change is
available from that screen.
Best regards,
The FTPplanet Staff
