Does anyone have a suggestion to locate a simple procedure to upload files to a site?..
Roadrunner had one for years, and I've been keeping files I've acquired throughout the years in operating hamsats since good old OSCAR..
No fancy graphics, no pictures, just *.exe, *.jpg, *.zip, *. txt and that sort of thing using ftp
Roadrunner still has the space available free, but it will not let me upload the above.
Any suggestions appreciated....
You are saying that RR *won't* permit files of those types be transferred? If I have that right, RR is whacked and you need to find another ISP. Apologies to RR right now if I got that wrong.
The first and most stupid suggestion would be to rename a .exe file to .x or something, upload it and then rename it remotely.
Another alternative would be to get ssh for Windows (thats what you use, I think?) and use the "sftp" encrypted ftp to move things. It is slower, however than a normal insecure ftp.
I'm hoping that you're crashing into some other problem and it isn't that you aren't allowed to upload.
