A common FTP program used is called WS_FTP. FTP stands for "File Transfer Protocol." FTP Software like WS_FTP will allow you to copy files from your local drive to a remote computer(upload) or to retrieve files located on a remote machine to your own computer(download). If you create a home page, you will need to upload the files that you have made into the directory you have been assigned at Full Radius. Here is an explanation of how to upload files to your web site using WS_FTP. With minor changes, these can be used to connect to FTP sites anywhere on the Internet.

First you must connect to Full Radius, and then start WS_FTP. The main program window will appear, along with a smaller, Session Properties window, in front of it.

If it is not already, you should fill out this Window as you see here. Start by clicking the New button.

• Profile Name - This field is for you to be able to identify the settings. You might want to put something indicating that these settings will be for your web site, for example.
• Host Name/Address - This field is where you will write the name or the IP address of the machine you wish to connect to. If it is for your web space, you should put in 'shellhost.fullradius.com' (do not include the quotes), where 'shellhost' is replaced by your actual shell host (shell1, shell2, or shell3). An example would be 'shell3.fullradius.com' if your account is hosted on the shell3 server. If you do not know which server hosts your account, email
• Host Type - This field is to let WS_FTP know what kind of system it will be connecting to. Set this field to 'UNIX' (if you are connecting to your shell host) or to 'Automatic Detect' in general.
• User ID - Enter your username here.
• Password - Enter your password here. It will appear only as asterisks, so type it carefully. If you click the Save password box, WS_FTP will save your password and you won't have to enter it again.

That is all you need to fill out. You can then hit the OK button, and click here to continue.
