Sure it has, it’s called “ftp” *gasp* Just start a command line window (Win-R cmd.exe RETURN), and enter ftp RETURN.

You can use the windows explorer, almost in XP. I use it a lot; its has no options, but it is enough for the basic operations.

Another alternative would be to install a web-based FTP client on your server. I can’t think of anything in partuclar now but am sure there are plenty of free ones.

Yes, JFileUpload another applet that supports both FTP and HTTP upload. It comes with a few add-ons. Among these you have JDiskExplorer which is designed as a regular FTP client. It includes a local and remote panel plus upload and download buttons. It just requires JRE 1.4 (or higher) installed on desktop to work. It has been successfully tested under Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Opera.

The downside to using these services is that after you complete the FTP transaction, yeehaw — they have the FTP credentials to your site. From there, they can do anything they want to your site (until you change the password).

I do believe that I’ll pass on using these online FTP clients, thank you very much!
