How to use CuteFTP
Cute FTP is an FTP client used for transferring files over the Internet. It has easy and intuitive interface and will prove to be an enormous help when publishing your web site or downloading photos or software.
You can purchase CuteFTP online. It is available at www.cuteftp.com.
CuteFTP has a short wizard that walks you through the setup of an FTP connection.
Step 1: The first screen prompts you to provide a name (or "label") for your new FTP connection. You can give it any name you would like. In this example, we are just going to use the actual domain name as the label. However, we could have called it "Sparky the Wonder Dog" if wanted.
Step 2: The next screen prompts you for the FTP server you want to connect to. Enter your domain name in the given space and click 'Next >'.
Step 3: The next screen prompts you for your FTP username and password. Enter them in the boxes provided and click 'Next >'.
Step 4: The next screen prompts you for a 'default local folder'. You should probably choose the folder where you keep all of your website files or if you don't have a website developed yet you can either make a new directory or just choose a random directory like c:\temp. Click 'Next >'.
Step 5: The next screenshot (below) asks you to click finish. One you click finish, Cute FTP will open up and attempt to connect to your FTP account.
Step 6: The next screenshot (below) shows the view when logged-in to your web hosting account. The list of files/folders on the right hand side or on the server, and left hand side is the view of your local files.
