Re: Re: AIS: ETIS website, ftp software

Linda, this site was given to me.  Not sure if it's anything you might can
use. But is a great source for free software. I think this is what you are
referring to at end of your e-mail.

A course?  Now <that's> a novel idea <g>

I have been doing this the hard way - bought the software, then just
started poking around till I figured out how to use it.

It's awkward to use, and not as self-explanatory as most software I've
used, but was cheap.  It cost less than the price of a new iris
introduction.  I would hate to have tried to create a website from
scratch using it, but it was ok just figuring out how to use it to edit
files of an existing site.

Basically, all you have to do is open the file, then hunt for the text
you want to change, then cut and paste/type your new text.  Make <sure>
your fumble fingers don't accidentally delete some of the codes, then
save/replace the edited file - making sure it has the same file name as
before.

Uploading the files to the host website requires use of some kind of ftp
software to copy files from your computer to the host.  I had a free
version of something or other Commander? that's fairly straightforward.
  Just noticed that's another thing I have to add to this computer..

Anyone have suggestions of shareware/open source ftp software?

<I do have front page. Started a
course in it, and teacher got sick - no replacement.  I also discovered I
have Publisher already on my computer, and like it in someways better than
Front Page.>
