I have been around the help files and cannot find what I am looking for. I
want to setup an FTP connection to my webspace in the network connections
like I used to be able to in XP.
I cannot see anything relating to setting up ftp in there in the network
centre.
I have checked the help files and only found this "If you want to transfer
files to and from a computer on the Internet, set up a File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) site on your computer." Thats very unhelpful as it doesn't
say where. I have filled in the form to say it was unhelpful and it needed
more information.
Can anyone help me please?
 
The simplest way to ftp is to open ie7 and type in the address dialog, the
location you want to get the files.

For example: ftp://<user @domain>

Where user is the login name and domain is the location for example
microsoft.com. It'll prompt for a password.

Is this any help?

Thanks. I was hoping to test built in FTP like they had in XP. I have no
real reason to use it at the moment, just trying my best to test out the
features and look for nasties.

Open My Computer, Right-click in an open space in the window. Select "add
network location". The rest is what you've probably been accutomed to in
XP.

Oh excellent thankyou. They didn't make that obvious did they? :-)
