WS_FTP LE Instructions

WS_FTP is a popular FTP program for Windows 95/98/NT/XP.

This is the main screen of the WS_FTP LE interface:

The left pane represents the local hard drive.
The right pane represents the remote server.

To transfer files, highlight them and click on the appropriate arrow between the two panes. Files can be transferred in ASCII (text) or Binary (images) mode by selecting the radio button below the two panes. The Auto check box doesn't do anything unless you have configured some file types in the Options.

To setup new sessions (to different FTP servers) you click on the Connect button on the lower left. (This screen also appears when you first run the program.) Here's how to set it up to upload to Momentum Online's Web servers:

Under the General tab:

  • Type in a Profile Name
  • Type in ftp.moment.net under Host Name/Address
  • Select Automatic detect under Host Type
  • Type in a your username under User ID
  • Type in a Password
  • Click Apply

Specify an inital remote directory as public_ htm under the Startup tab.

You don't have to fill out anything else on the other tabs.

If you get an error that states "503 NO > PORT command given".

Go to Advanced and uncheck Passive transfers.
