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.
"
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.
An example of this is.

Dear xxx
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.

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
