girlscout40,

What error are you getting?  What are you using as your FTP program or client?  If it is the ftp client that is built into Windows then you need to make sure the FTP site doesn't use passive FTP.

If you will doing a lot of FTP'ing then I suggest getting a third-party program.  They make it easier, support FTP better and will add features/options that make the small cost very worthwhile.  I like WS_FTP's program (http://www.ipswitch.com/products/ws_ftp/index.asp).

Let me know if you have any questions or need more information.

Thank you for the suggestion. I was told to go throug the command promt and when I typed in the commands nothing seem to happen. I think i was missing commands. I have frontpage couldn't i just use that?
Yes, you could use FrontPage directly http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/frontpage/HA010785401033.aspx or in combination with Passive FTP

Alternatively, if you would like to use the FTP commands directly the following web page has a comprehensive basic tutorial http://www.cs.colostate.edu/helpdocs/ftp.html
