Very succinct in your descriptions of a somewhat complex and arcane procedure ;) For the Linux (RedHat, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc) crowd there are also many choices. I've been using Filezilla (which also works pretty well on Windows) but there are many other choices. I recommend looking at your repository and trying a handful until you find one that works for you.As for web hosts, I really prefer to do mass uploads/downloads via rsync over ssh. It's a much more efficient protocol than ftp/sftp so you can transfer more files in the same amount of time. There are some GUI front-ends for rsync (grsync comes to mind) but I generally just write some scripts to handle things.Ciao, Danté .-= DantePasquale´s last undefined ..<a href="0" rel="nofollow">If you register your site for free at </a> =-.

Chapter 4, which is the one you were reading, got typo-ed in the title line and since it is still sort of a Work in Progress, I had not bothered to fix it yet (call me lazy). :) If you'd like I can send you the first 3 chapters...I'll have to dig around for them though as I don't think they are online anymore.

It is a good feature for hosting providers to have though, and I would not recommend using a provider that doesn't give you that level of access.Anyway, nice catch (see, now aren't you glad you read the post even though you knew all about FTP?) :) Good catch Chris – I was cobbling the post together after I had a long chat with a photogrpaher friend who was having some problems and I was trying to simplify things too much – 22 is indeed SSH, which, as you say is more than just SFTP.

Is Chapter 3 part of a book? If so, how can I get the other chapters, particularly about how to prepare images for the Web?Also, why, oh, why, at the end of Chapter 3, does it say: "Now onto Chapter 5"? Is Chapter 4 a stealth chapter, only meant for those in the Secret Society and readable after producing the Secret Handshake?Love your blog. Thanks for all the info and inspiration you provide!J O Thanks for the ftp stuff!! Is Chapter 3 part of a book?

Also, why, oh, why, at the end of Chapter 3, does it say: “Now onto Chapter 5″? Is Chapter 4 a stealth chapter, only meant for those in the Secret Society and readable after producing the Secret Handshake?

Love your blog. Thanks for all the info and inspiration you provide!

The first thing is that SFTP uses port 22, which is actually much more than just "Secure File Transfer Protocol". In fact it's SSH - Secure Shell. You can also run FTPS - an enhancement to the FTP protocol which adds encryption of either the data or transport channel (or both) via SSL/TLS. But one should always consider a hoster that supports SSH (and SFTP), because it gives you much more control over your webspace. The old FTP is also a real diva when it comes to firewalls because there are two different ways (active/passive) of transferring content via FTP.My favorite ftp client for Mac OS is Cyberduck and for Windows it's WinSCP.
