I'm using WS 995 right now but it is limited. I have about 5,000 pages to upload. I'm afraid I'd be a long time uploading the new site using WS 995 (a free program).

I have Secure-Shell for a couple sites that demand it. Both work equally well. I'm afraid, though, I don't understand how a different FTP program will upload 5000 files faster. IME, speed of upload is more a factor of whether I've got virus-ware scanning the upload, of how busy the target server is, and other outside variables none of which had much to do with the FTPware.

Cheryl, The difference to me is in the ease of operation. With WS FTP it was easy to select 100 files to upload and make a single click to upload them. I have WS FTP lite also, but I just do not care for it as much. (And they told me it would not work with Win 7.) I will try the free program mentioned in an earlier post later today. I guess while I'm on this subject, my large web site is on RW. So, I presume it is okay to discuss these general problems and ideas on this list. I uploaded Grant County yesterday to my RW account. It is hard to separate out a problem with Win 7 and FTP programs from the subject of RW web sites. The subjects mix and match. I think the more educated a person is about the net, the FTP programs and the operating systems the better he can manage his RW account. My next project is to remove all of the old FP 2007 Themes from my web pages. My goal is to make my web pages on RW look equally well with For Fox and I.E. 8. Fire Fox seems to default to the center and MS web programs like FP 2007 and Expression Web 3 default to the left. So all of the tables and every cell has to be changed manually to align one way or the other, not use the program default. This is taking me months to accomplish. Sorry I rambled.
