WS_FTP is used to transfer files from a computer to your computer. There are FTP sites around the world which you can access through what is know as an anonymous FTP, which is essentially a public access account on a remote computer. Through this method you can access and download thousands of shareware and freeware software applications.

Extreme Internet doesn't provide WS_FTP with your Extreme Internet package, but we do recommend the usage for uploading your WEB pages to the Extreme Internet server. To find a copy, go to www.tucows.com or do a web search for WS_FTP.
