[Xitami] Xitami FTP?

Dead-easy.

Internet Explorer works. It may work better in later versions; I
have 6 here. NetScape 4.7 works too.

ftp://username@server.domain.org

You will be promoted for your password. There is a way to give the
password in the URL; and IE also offers to save your password
locally. I prefer to keep it to myself and type it in, but whatever
works for your users.

If it likes your name and password, you can navigate folders, view
files, etc.

AND... open a File Explorer window, find files on your own PC, and
drag them into the browser window. IE just uploads them; NS asks if
that's what you want to do.

Working fine on my Xitami 2.4 server. I know I never had any file
upload add-ons.

Xitami's FTP will time-out after some minutes. I'm not sure all
browsers handle this gracefully. Best to know what you want to do
and do it all in one sitting.
