whoa dude

what are you smokin? FireFTP works fine... you might want to use a more robust client like FlashFXP however...

I click the file in FireFTP

If I just try to move the file to my harddrive, it will be permanently gone until I copy the file in Windows Explorer and than move it back to the server

?

That is how you do it?


When I rightclick the file I see this:

Download

Open

Open With

View on Web

Copy Url

FXP

Cut

Create Directory

Create File

Delete

Rename

Properties


---


I click on Download and nothing happened

I was hoping a window would open up asking me where I want to Download the file to

?



Ok, I just clicked on Download again and I see the file in my 2nd window to the left

Ok I see the file now in my 2nd window to the left

After Downloading it

I rightclicked and clicked Copy

I went to Windows Explorer to paste it but the Paste is grayed out, I can't paste it

I don't know how to move that file to my hard drive

?

I just clicked on Copy again

The file is in my 2nd window to my left, there by itself

I clicked on a directory on the left window to paste it

Paste button is grayed out, won't work

Now the file in the 2nd window to the left is gone

I don't know how to Download a file with FireFTP

I don't know how to download a file off the server

/me steps slowly back out of thread... you need to slow down dude..

caffeine ain't for everyone..

and use the 'edit' button rather than create a novella with post after post..

I browsed thru the Help of FireFTP and do not see Instructions on how to Copy a File off the server

I tried doing a backup several months ago to upgrade

I don't remember how I did it, but it only backed up the directories and not the files inside the directories, so I couldn't figure out how to do it

So I could not try doing the upgrade

I don't know how to download a file off my server

I can't figure out how to do it

Ok, the file is now on my harddrive

I don't know how it got there. I don't know how I did it

I have no idea how the file got on my harddrive

Ok I edited the file

I have no idea how the file got on my harddrive

Now if I just move the file to the server, the file will just overwrite the old file ?

---

Ok done, I moved the file and it gave me the option to overwrite

---

I see now how I downloaded the file

The 2nd window to the left are the files in the directory on my harddrive

I didn't know that

I didn't know what that window was


---

Ok it worked

I just clicked on my secondary pages with my cookies turned off

It worked

thank you
