However, you would have to "define a site" for every connection you want to make. That's why it's easier to use a dedicated FTP client when doing one-time file transfers. Or frankly- for any file transfer that isn't a website that you'll work on. I've used dw for years- but use an ftp client to handle DTP uploads to printer's ftp sites.

How? Show me how I can specify exactly which folder I can download a file to (including my desktop if I wanted to). That would save me oodled of time trying to find (and buy) an FTP client.

To explain again--- You can't pick where the file goes to when you download it. You pick that when you Define the Site. This will Not save any time compared to using a real stand alone ftp client. There are plenty of freeware/shareware ftp clients out there. and good commercial ones are rarely over 20 bucks. |
