Thanks Steve. I have it and it's working great.

Thanks Ricky.

flashlight looking indefinitely :)
How do I do this in plain old windows?

TIA

I discovered the same thing a few weeks ago. The idea that I can't continue
to use the version I'd been using is BS. Especially since the current deal
is that you have to buy a limited-time license. I started looking for
alternatives, tried a couple, but I didn't like them, and still haven't
resolved the issue. I dl'ed the Firefox extension, but haven't tried it,
yet.

I really liked SmartFTP--very easy to use I/F. Much better than the other
apps I tried before and after settling on SmartFTP. What version are you
using, that allows you to use it w/out being hijacked into upgrading to a
newer build?

I've used it a lot and it works fine. I like the look of SmartFTP, but at
this point all I need it for is to drag files to my site and sharing large
files. So for what I need it does the trick.

Version 1.0
I've never upgraded on my older computer using Win98. So I still had all the
files. I didn't actually *install* the program, I just copied the files and
for some reason it worked :-)
I also tried uninstalling the latest version and installing 2.5 which I
liked, but no go. It just wouldn't open even after a gazillion opening
screenshots. Version 1 is the only one that will fully open on all my
computers.

Poly, did you type that command into the IE (Internet Explorer) URL address
line? That's where it needs to go. If you want to do it from "Windows
Explorer" (not browser) you might need to enable the option (semantics vary
with IE flavor) "enable FTP folder view" in the IE advanced options tab.

Just checked, ftp://upload.mchsi.com doesn't seem to be responding at the
moment.

Try this one in IE instead :-p
ftp://smartftp.com/
