FTP (File Transfer Protocol) allows you to transfer files between your computer and another one connected to the Internet.

Most public FTP servers require you to login, and usually accept a login username of 'anonymous' with the password being your email address.
One of the best places to find the locations of FTP servers is the World Wide Web.

Warning: Transferring files opens your computer up to the possibilty of downloading computer viruses.You should always check any software you have downloaded for viruses before using it.

Open Cuteftp by double-clicking on the icon, or choosing it from the Start > Programs > cuteftp

You should then see a panel similar to the one below.

Connecting to Demon's FTP SITE: Open the Cuteftp Site Manager (The icon that looks like a book on the toolbar).

Click on the Add site button.

To transfer files to and from an FTP server:
The Site Label can be whatever you wish, but we suggest using Demon FTP
The Host Address is ftp.demon.net.
The User ID is anonymous.
The Password is your full email address (username@hostname.demon.co.uk).
The Host Type should be set to Auto-Detect (the default).
Leave all the other fields blank.
Make sure the radio button for Anonymous login is dotted.

Once these details are correct, click on OK to connect to the FTP server.

To transfer files to and from your Demon Homepages Server (also known as uploading your website):
Then enter the following settings:
The Host Address is homepages.demon.co.uk.

The window is split into four sections. The top section is the status area, this informs you of what is happening and the results. Under the status area is the Local and Remote Drives.
