How to Setup WS_FTP
WS_FTP is a standard FTP client for Windows sockets. The graphical interface
was designed with the novice FTP user in mind, but there are also advanced
features for power users. WS_FTP Pro provides advanced support for handling
frequently visited FTP sites, time-outs, port numbers, passive file
transfers, and firewalls. It also automatically resumes interrupted
transfers and includes file maintenance options to help prevent overwriting
files. The program also enables remote-to-remote transfers and has command-
