Webspace/FTP Accounts:
To update your webspace and store or move files, you will need to use an FTP Program. For those of you who are unfamiliar with FTP and do not wish to spend money on an FTP program, I recommend WS_FTP LE, which is free for students and non-commercial usage. It should get the job done. Please click the following link if you want to learn more about the basics of FTP, what it is, how to use it, etc.: FTP Basics . . . good luck, and happy FTP'ing! Intructions for logging in and setting up the FTP program you choose are listed below in setup information!
