A number of different FTP programs are available, such as
FileZilla or WS_FTP
which are also available
via our download
section.

These instructions relate to FileZilla 3.01
and should be similar to other versions or other FTP programs.

In FileZilla, select File, Site Manager
(a) General tab
New Site
Host: eg www.netro.com.au
(specify your site address)

this is often similar to your
