To log into an anonymous account on an ftp server, use an "ftp" URL like this:

 

    ftp://ftp.whatever.com

You can also use a full path pointing directly to a specific file on the ftp server:

 

    ftp://ftp.whatever.com/path/filename

To log into a specific user account on the ftp server, you can include your username (and, optionally, your password) in the URL. If you don't include your password, you will be prompted for it. The syntax is:

 

    ftp://username@ftp.whatever.com
    ftp://username:password@ftp.whatever.com

Drag-and-drop is supported on most operating systems. You can download files by dragging them out of an ftp window, or upload files by dragging them into an ftp window.

 If you are not able to drag files into an ftp window to upload them, then select "Upload File" from the File menu to when the browser window shows the directory where you want the file to be placed.

 If a transfer is interrupted, Navigator can not resume the aborted download where it left off (known as REGET). Also, there are no facilities for executing remote commands or for removing or renaming files on the ftp server. If you need any of these features, you may want to use a dedicated ftp client program instead. There is a list of them at http://tucows.tierranet.com/ftp95.html.
