Determine the name of the server you wish yo log in to. Many times, this will be given to you by the person who is receiving or sending the file. For public access FTP sites, you can either search for them through an Internet search engine or 'guess' by replacing the 'www' in a web address with 'ftp.' For instance, you could try 'ftp.aol.com' as opposed to 'www.aol.com.'
Go to the command prompt for your operating system. For Windows, this means opening an MS-DOS window. Type 'ftp
,' where
is the name of the ftp server you are logging into, and press 'Enter.' Enter your username and password where requested. For public access servers, the username will almost always be 'anonymous' and the password your full email address.
Use the command 'dir' to list a directory's contents and 'cd' to change to a different directory until you find the file you want to receive or the directory your wish to transfer a file into.
Use either 'get
' or 'put
' to receive or to send the file.
Type 'bye' when the files have been transferred to end the connection.

How to Set Up a Website ServerIn Feburary 2016 26,
In Feburary 2016 26,
Download a server program. Apache HTTP Server is a reliable, easy-to-use web-server program that can be downloaded for free.
Install the program. When prompted, enter the name of the domain (website.com) and the server name (www.website.com). Also enter the email address for the site's administrator.
Click \'Next\' and complete the installation using the \'Typical Installation\' setting. Apache will install its files to C:\Program Files\Apache Group.
Change the server directory. If you're using Apache, go to C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\conf and open the file httpd.conf. In the file, find the reference to \'DocumentRoot.\' Change the Document Root file path to point to the folder where the website files to be hosted are located. If the website files are in C:\Webfiles, change the file to say \'DocumentRoot: C:\Webfiles\' and save the file.
Restart Apache.
Open a Web browser and visit http://localhost/ and it should show the index.html page from whatever folder has been assigned as the DocumentRoot. The server is now configured.

How Are Web Addresses Constructed?In Feburary 2016 09,
In Feburary 2016 09,
When a user types a web address, she may start the address with the characters 'http://' or 'https://.' These characters indicate the protocol the web browser will use to access the address following the slashes. Most web addresses use the protocol indicator http://,' which indicates that the page will be accessed with Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP); the colon and slashes serve as a separator between the protocol and the beginning of the web address. Also common on the World Wide Web, though not as common as HTTP, is 'https://' or Hypertext Transfer Protocol-Secure. Other protocol indicators might include 'ftp://' for File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or 'telnet://' for data transfer using the text-only Telnet protocol.
The Subdomain
The first several letters immediately following the protocol indicator and slashes indicates the subdomain being accessed on the web server. In most cases, the subdomain is 'www,' which loads the index page in the root directory or specified sub-directory of the server. The subdomain can be used to direct visitors to a specific application or page on the server, though, as is used by 'http://maps.google.com/' for Google Maps or 'http://messenger.yahoo.com/' for the official Yahoo! Messenger site. In some cases, the subdomain may be absent entirely (for example, someone may type http://google.com/), and this omission loads the default page a visitor would get by using the 'www' prefix.
The Domain Name
The domain name is the meat of the web address, and usually serves as a plain text indicator of the destination address. Domain names are as varied as the users who create them and may even be in a number of different languages. Some examples of familiar domain names include Google (http://www.google.com/), Yahoo (http://www.yahoo.com/) or Apple (http://www.apple.com/). This portion of the web address must be unique when combined with the domain extension, as the domain name and extension are bound to the server Internet Protocol (IP) address for proper operation of the web service.
The Extension
The final part of a web address is the extension, usually a three-letter abbreviation that indicates the type of site being accessed. The oldest and most common top-level domain extensions are .com for commercial sites, .org for non-commercial organizations and .net for miscellaneous networks. Some additional domain extensions include .mil for military organizations, .gov for government sites, .edu for schools, and .mobi for web sites designed specifically for mobile use. More than 200 international extensions also exist--including .ca for Canadian sites, .uk for British sites, .cn for Chinese sites, and .ru for Russian sites--and a special .xxx extension has even been proposed for adult-themed web sites.
