FTP (file transfer Protocal) There are many different frontends to FTP - its sort of like xmodem for the internet.

in windows the cmd prompt has ftp services just type from the start-run command ftp

here is one help file for the ftp syntax
http://www.cs.colostate.edu/helpdocs/ftp.html
When putting a exe file(binary file) on a server its important that you change ftp modes to B Binary... as apposed to A for Ascii.. that will usually mess up your files.

Internet explorer has a ftp utility built right in.
type in your browser ftp://servername.

like this for my server.
ftp://joe:joe@qube.1amsoftware.com/
joe is the user and joe is the password.

>Thank you Bob. Another question. What utility or procedure is needed to FTP the .exe to my webserver? (I've never done that)

In the beginning, there was a command prompt, and all was well.
