or - Add the FTP shortcut and DRAG and DROP from the same folder


VOILA' you will have automacally updated your WEB PAGE

I'm confused as to why this is spectacular???

With a program such as cuteFTP you could make your entire website and drag and drop it acroos sending 5 files at a time (not sure how many acctualyl i havent used cuteftp for a while)

i dunno how safe that way is. ive seen many people get sites passwords and usernames by typing "@domainname.com" in google, sometimes google caches that little bit and will display it in the search results. i know thats a common way to steal porn site passwords at least..

Much better...drag and drop just like what you're talking about...but can go through proxies and firewalls and is secure.
