FTP as a Network Place

Using FTP as a Network Place

It is fairly easy to add the FTP site as a "Network Place".
And it's a whole lot easier and more reliable than using internet explorer.

First, start up the Add Network Place wizard:

With Windows XP, open the Start menu, then My Network Places. Then click Add network place.
With Windows Vista , open the Start menu, then Computer. Then right-click in the open (white) area of the window and select "Add Network Location".
With Windows 7 - 10, hold down press Windows key + e, then on the left side click on "This PC". Then right-click in the open (white) area of the window and select "Add Network Location".

Skip the first screen of the "Add Network Place/Location" wizard.
Then choose "Choose another network location"
For the "Internet or network address" enter the following:

ftp://[login]:[password]@ftp.focussat.net

replace [login] with your login and [password] with your password

Then hit Next, change the name of the network place if you want, Next again, and Finish.

Then, whenever you want to go to our site, just open that item in...
"My Network Places" (XP)
"Computer" / "Network Locations" (Vista - 7)
In (10) press Windows key + e, then click on "This PC".
and drag or copy files to your local disk.

You can also create a shortcut on your desktop to the Network place/location.
