(imho i placed this question before, but i can't find it back :-( )

Does anyone know a (little) program, like a exe file, that can upload a
file to a predefined webspace? I need it for my imageviewer faststone.
There you can configure several 'tools'. Each tool opens with the
picture you currently working with (something like "program.exe
%picture"). I want to upload pictures quickly, without opening my
ftp-client.

The 'goal' is to add this program i search to the list of tools in
faststone. When i want to upload one picture, i just run this tool and
get back to usual business :-)

If you use Windows XP:


(You only have to do all this once.) Go to Network Neighborhood.
Click Add a network place. Select Choose another network location and
click Next. Put in the internet address of your ftp site (the same
address you'd use in your ftp client).

You'll have a folder for your ftp site in Network Neighborhood. If
you want to upload files just double-click on the folder (you'll have
to fill in the login and password the first time and the password
after that, unless you tell it to remember your password, which I
wouldn't do.) Now just copy your files to the folder and you're done.
No program of any kind needed.

You can also just enter an ftp address
in the address bar of your browser
and then save it as a bookmark ....

ftp://user_name@your_host.com

Making an entry in Network Neighborhood
seems to be optional ....

I've been ftp-ing to my personal web space
this way for several years using ....

[ Win98 | Win2K | Debian Linux ]

[ IE | Firefox | Opera ]

If you open 2 browser instances and tile the windows,
then you have a dual-pane ftp client ....

Al, if you wanted to pull a credit report from a credit bureau (we have to
do this endlessly) and automate the process (fill in this, click that, etc,
print, close out), do you see this as doable in XP or would there be
scripts to write?

There are programs available from the bureaus that make mass queries
much easier. You can also get the data on CD or DVD and query it
locally.

If you want to do it yourself, use some automation program that runs
in XP or write something - the decision should be based on which is
easiest for you.
