I did have the same problem yesterday with ZoneAlarm Pro. I did fine tune the settings and succeeded to FTP.

I have just spent the last 40 plus minutes trying to delete my site at MyFamily.com. Got it all done now EXCEPT they want an e-mail message sent to them to finish it, and I cannot find any address to send it to. Everything I try is rejected. <weep, weep> Where can one find an address? Cleadie B.

I use Cute ftp and I have Zone Alarm pro firewall, and no problem uploading. You have to tell Zone Alarm to allow Cute ftp.

Gosh, I just ignored my site at myfamily.com, when they started charging, and I guess it went away. If so, I'd guess postmaster@myfamily.com But their web page (account cancelation) says: If you are within the United States and wish to cancel a paid subscription or discuss your billing history with one of our Account Services Representatives, please call 1-800-262-3787 and select option #4.

Hi Cheryl - With FTP, you might check "passive transfers" - it should be turned on (least mine is) - the initial window (Session Properties) and the Advanced tab...?

Cheryl - Do you have your firewall turned on in your FTP program? I did the same thing before (confirmed PW, copy and paste) and RW won't let you in if your firewall is turned on.

Someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. (g) I have two computers, and I recently tried to use the "other" one (the newer one) to FTP into my homepages account ( homepages.rootsweb.com/~cpafug/ ) It gave me a log-in failure. So, I tried again, doing copy/paste on the pass-word. No go. Queried Password Central; it's the right password. As far as I can tell, I'm using the *exact* info on both computers, but I can get there from here, but not from there. Anyone with an idea? Thanks! Cheryl (Yeah, the newer one is a win9x)

Many thanks for all the responses, both on the Help line and directly. Some even did the job for me, using programs other than Paint. For those interested in the responses, primarily I wanted to learn HOW to do it. We all know the old saying, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for life." The most useful answer came from Drew Smith, who wrote: "Use the Select tool (the dotted Rectangle at the top right of the Tool Box). After clicking on the Select tool, click on the top left of the image you want to keep, and then drag down to the bottom right until you've encompassed the entire image. Then click on Cut in the Edit menu. Then open up an entirely new, empty image (New under the File menu), and then go to Paste under the Edit menu. You should now see the image you cut without the extra white space. You can now save the new version of the image." So if you're dealing with that problem, there's the solution. It worked beautifully. The results are at http://wymple.gs.net/~longstrt/hotel.html Many thanks Drew, and all who so generously shared their skill and insight. Regrds, John New Orleans

The image is at >http://wymple.gs.net/~longstrt/piedmt-sktch.html John, To crop that image, all you have to do is use the square Select tool at the top of the column of tools. Drag the box so it includes just the portion of image you want. Release the mouse button, and move it over the image until you see a cross ( + ), then click and drag the image will to where ever you want (in this case just move it to the left). Release the mouse button when the image is placed correctly. Now you will have all that white space on the right;-) To get rid of that, go to the right edge of the box and when a two way arrow appears, drag it to the left to resize the picture. This will get rid of all the "white" without skewing the picture. I think Paint is one of the least appreciated power tool on any computer. MacPaint (from the original MacIntosh) is a little bit better than the current MS Paint IMHO, but either are real work horses. Rel@ively, Patrice

Gordon, it is unwise to keep the ONLY copy of your website on your host server. What if they lost it? ALWAYS keep an faithful image (meaning the structure and content) on your own computer. Then, repairs or additions are simpler: make and test the change on your PC, THEN upload to the server. Now, how to download? First, you should be using an FTP client that allows this. I use FTPx -- FTP Explorer: http://www.ftpx.com/ It has a very intuitive and user-friendly interface which closely resembles Windows Explorer: * Partitioned window with directory structure on left and file list on right * File list presentation in multiple forms, just like your local Explorer: list, details, etc. * Drag and drop for upload and download. I.e. drag a bunch of files from a folder on your PC to the FTPx window to upload, and reverse for download. * You can define multiple profiles with connection details so that connecting to a particular site is just a click away. I don't think that it could be made any easier! -R. Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention: IT'S FREE!

I don't believe you can actually chop off specific sides of am image in Paint. Believe the cropping is by margin sizes?? However, just retrieved you pic and cropped it with Graphics Workshop Professional. If you want a cropped version of the pic I'll E-mail it to you. Graphics Workshop Professional is a great graphics program which can be found at: http://www.mindworkshop.com/alchemy/gwspro.html You can get an evaluation version free. Scroll way down the page to the section titled DOWNLOAD. When you install it a dialog asking about registering it or installing it for evaluation. For evaluation you select "Shareware."

Hi Friends, Can someone tell me how to crop an image, using "Paint" that comes with Windows? I received a VERY large picture which I was able to reduce and rotate from vertical to horizontal. However it still has a lot of blank space on the left side and at the bottom which I don't know how to cut off. If you can help, I really would appreciate it. The image is at http://wymple.gs.net/~longstrt/piedmt-sktch.html Many thanks, John New Orleans

Looks ok to me! If you want your name to be centered, you need to take out all the "&nbsp;&nbsp" in front of "by Betty Eichhorn", which put in unnecessary spaces. It looks a little wide for my screen, as I tend to do 600x800 pixels. I think you've got a bit of a "sidebar" extended down from the space shuttle graphic, that pushes your 700 pixel wide table over to the right. Put in a few <br><br> to move down out of the image's way, maybe? I also noticed at the top you've got a table which is 700 wide, but the rows end up wider than 700, btw (152+593+745): <TABLE WIDTH="700" BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="2" CELLPADDING="0" HEIGHT="364"> <TR> <TD WIDTH="152" HEIGHT="24"> <FONT SIZE="+1">Volume 15, Issue 1</FONT></TD> <TD WIDTH="593" HEIGHT="24"> <P ALIGN=RIGHT><B>March 2002</B><FONT SIZE="+1">&nbsp;</FONT></TD> </TR> Gloria At 03:54 AM 3/17/02 -0500, you wrote: >Hi, > >I could use some help.
