OK Johannes,
THANKS for the HELP,,,,,,
Looks like I am missing an FTP client type software application to be able to do this from the Internet Explorer Browser(???).
The LAN contains some older W95/W98 systems. And, some have been loaded with the Xitami Server. They are surprisingly responsive and work to great satisfaction. Not much access, but the access is necessary.
All we want to do is tell someone how to use FTP (syntax example of an FTP PUT, etc.) in a WEB Browser ADDRESS pane (Internet Explorer for example) to the Xitami FTP Server from somewhere on the Internet outside this LAN.
It is simple to use the MSDOS Command line FTP to these XITAMI servers, but if possible we would like to avoid using the MSDOS environment.
THANKS for your help, advise, and time!!! :) :)
Jerry
