Home > SSW Standards > Developer Internet > SSW How to FTP with IExplorer
We have a Public
Folder on our web-server that is created because we needed a place to upload
and download large files that are too big to email. Just
think of it as a folder on the Internet that has a URL.
You
have to use FTP to upload files to the SSW Web Server. You can do this a number
of ways.
Either using:
- An FTP client
- This is a stand alone program where you put in the server information and
it will connect to it and allow you to upload and download files. An example
is FTPSync.
- Using Internet
Explorer (IE) - you can also use IE to upload and download files. You still
need to enter in server details like user name and password but you do not
require an ftp program. You enter this in the URL: "ftp://PublicFolders@61.8.3.146/"
Your user
name and password are:
User Name: PublicFolders
Password: ****
If you chose to
use IE to upload/manage files on this space, uploading or downloading a file
is a simple as dragging and dropping the files to this space. You can do anything
that you can as if it was a folder on your computer.

You can use the Public Folders to put files there for clients to get.
You then tell the client the specific URL to the file/folders you want
them to download.

Dear

You
can upload a file to our server using Internet Explorer by entering
this into the address box at the top of Internet explorer: ftp://PublicFolders@www.ssw.com.au/
Once
prompted, type in the password: *****
Simply
drag and drop your files into the IE window.
Once
you have uploaded your files, please contact Daniel
to let me know that the files have been sent. I will get them and
remove your files from this area ASAP.

Sending email to clients.
Once you have put
the file into this space, you will need to tell the client what the URL is to
there files or what username and password is so they can upload files to the
SSW Web Server.
