How to FTP a Zip FileIn Feburary 2016 25,

In Feburary 2016 25,
Create a folder on your desktop or in a location that you can easily find.
Copy the ZIP files to this newly created folder.
Open a command prompt by typing 'CMD' without the quotes from the RUN line in windows. This same command will work from the windows search bar.
Type 'FTP' into the newly opened command window. The prompt has changed to say 'ftp'. You are now ready to connect to your ftp server.
Type 'ftp.myservername.com' without quotes at the ftp prompt. Replace myservername with the name of your server.
Successful completion of step 5 will present you with a connection to the ftp server. Type your user name at the 'user' prompt.
Successful completion of step 6 will present you with a password prompt. Type your password at the 'Password' prompt.
Successful completion of step 7 will present you with a basic 'ftp' prompt. You are now ready to upload your zip files. Navigate to the folder which you stored your files by typing 'lcd Folder Name' without quotes. Substitute folder name with the folder name you created. The lcd command allows you to change directories locally.
Create a folder on the ftp server for your ZIP files by using the 'MKDIR' command. Type 'MKDIR Myfiles' without the quotes and substitute myfiles with your desired folder name.
Change directories to the folder you just created by typing 'CD Your New Name' without the quotes. Substitute your new name for the name of your folder.
FTP your files by typing 'PUT myfile.zip' without the quotes. Substitute myfile.zip with the name of your ZIP file. Once this step is completed you will be presented with a confirmation step and a new 'ftp' prompt. You can now repeat this step for additional files.
Type 'bye' without the quotes at the ftp prompt to log off of the ftp server.
Type 'exit' without the quotes at the command prompt to close this window.
