Use windows explorer instead of IE when navigating to the site initially. Start -- Run -- Explorer, hit the "<windows key>+E", or find a shortcut to it.

You have to go to view -- toolbars -- address bar (i think, hunt around and find the address bar in the menus) and type the FTP address in there. IE can download from FTP sites but not upload so you want to use explorer.

Thank you so much--I have learned a bunch today! Using windows explorer works like a charm!

I'm glad you have found a solution to your problem and good luck!

Please mark this thread as solved if your question has been answered.

I am waiting to be sure my client can get in using windows explorer. He is the reason I embarked on this whole endeavor in the first place.

Still waiting to hear from my client. I just went back to the Vista machine--it will let me in if I just enter ftp://66.116.193.2, and never asks me for a password or username. From there I could access any folder on the website--not good. If I entered the rest of it (/ereddick/transfer/) after the ip, I get a 550 error - no such file or directory. I don't have to resolve this, but the day may come when I need it.

try this:
ftp://username:password@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Or download FileZilla. its a very good and free GUI client.

Got it by golly! Thanks so much. Where do I go to mark it solved? Saw it somewhere but can't find it now.

I'm not sure... I have never started a thread before. I'm sure it is down near where you type or under thread tools?
