I have the names and passwords, I thought I needed an html editor, or something.
The names I was told are dreamweaver, netscape com{P}oser ..., but I am not sure what they all are. |
Aha!
The very point I thought I detected originally!
These are programs for *creating* web pages. Some, like Dreamweaver, will also handle the transfer process... but its hardly cheap, (unless you are using it to earn a living), let alone free...
Think of these as being like Page layout programs (such as PageMaker, Quark XPress or Adobe InDesign) but for *web* (rather than printed) pages...
More on DreamWeaver here:

Tools for creating web pages were discussed fairly recently in this thread:

Easy piesy, if you are using Internet Explorer, you already hace an ftp client. You have to get your ftp username/password/address from your host, open explorer, type the ftp address in the address bar (something like ftp://www.yourdomain.com or ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com - I have both versions with different hosts), and once you click Go, you will either get a log in box, or some error type box, in which case you click on File, and then Log in As..., which will give you the log in box. Then you'll see a torch search, and when done you can start transferring. Open another IE window, get your documents, and the folder for your website and put the two windows side by side (reduce the size) or the My Documents reduced on top of the full size ftp window and then just click and drag your files or folders.
Here an easy, quick tutorial
