View source for Filezilla, FTP, SFTP

To transfer large files, it is often useful to use a File Transfer Protocol ('''FTP''') client.

'''SFTP''' = Secure File Transfer Protocol.  Sometimes you have to set the port by hand.  It can be a little tricky to get set up at first.

Macs may come with an FTP program.

At first, navigating file folders may be a world of hurt.  After you've suffered enough, your view of the universe will change, and you will have begun to "think unix."  If you're on a unix system, of course.  Your suffering will never end if you are on a Windows server.  Nobody has written a book called ''Think Windows.''
