name will appear in left "Folders"
column of Windows Explorer under My Network
Places)
Click
Next
Uncheck
the "Open this network place when I

Under

you will see the listing of available folders
on the remote server for the FTP site.
You
can now use the folders section to browse to
a file on your local drive and then "drag
and drop" the file to the appropriate
FTP site folder.
The
file is transferred to the remote server and
is immediately available on the Internet.
Caution:
This is good for "putting" files
to the server, but you may not be able to delete
files or otherwise manage a file with the same
flexibility as a good FTP program.
