Uploading files to an ftp server...

[DCD]

...how can I do this using OS X?? Are there specific programs to help me do this??

thanks for any help

Any ftp client will allow you to do this. OSX has the standard 'ftp' command built into it accessible via terminal. Type 'man ftp' for its usage.

I personally use Fetch, a great piece of software and a lot easier to use.

Click here for a fetch link.

I use RBrowserLite you can get it at htp://www.versiontracker.com and it is freeware. I personaly think it is the best free ftp client out there.

You can also use curl to upload to a ftp server:

curl -T filename -u usernameassword ftp://somehost.com/somedir/filename

Uh... guys... if you're using Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar, all you need to do is use the "Go" menu's "Connect to server..." command, and type in "ftp://whatever.here" and ftp volumes show up on your desktop. Use them like any other disk.

If you mount an ftp volume with "Connect to server" you mount it read-only and you can't upload. At least I can't.
If you loose the connection with the mounted ftp server your mac hangs.
