FTP uploading and software information

FTP Software
There are many free FTP clients available for both PC and Mac. Our recommendation for both Mac and PC free FTP software for uploading is Filezilla Client or Fetch for Mac. We also recommend CuteFTP (free trial) for FTP software that you can purchase.




FTP in Windows
You can upload using Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer in most versions of Windows (XP and later). You'll probably still need other FTP software to setup and CHMOD the contact form script and any other cgi scripts you plan to use.
