Re: Customers request to upload footage to FTP site

[Bob Woodhead]

easiest way is to use a web browser in ftp mode. CAVEAT – this is not nearly as reliable as using an ftp client, esp. for large files.
in the browser’s URL, the syntax is: ftp://username:password@hostname.domain:port/ Note that if not specified, port is 21 and you will NOT need to include it. Once connected, just drag n’ drop your file onto the browser window.
BETTER way is to download an FTP client, the best IMHO is WSFTP https://www.ipswitch.com/_download/wsftphome.asp
It’s pretty self-explanatory. But in a rush, try the browser first.

One of my customers has asked me to upload a rough edit of a music video I’m working on to their FTP site, so that they can sign it off, the only problems is I’ve got no idea how to do it!!!!”

Purchase Fetch and it makes it a snap. You’ll need the FTP address and password, but all you do is drag your file to the FTP site.
