[QUOTE="Villano, post: 94498, member: 505"] Okay, I know really nothing much of computers. I bought a WebTV because you don't have to deal with all the additional equipment and huge phone bills. Heres my problem: I was on a website which had a "files" section. I was having trouble downloading some of them. I wrote to someone whom I thought ran the board and asked about the problem. He asked if I can "FTP" and gave me a number and user name and password. The problem is that I have no idea what an ftp is. I did a search and found that it was some sort of file sharing. I have the number he gave me, but I have no idea how to use it. Do I use it like an URL, and enter it into an http:? What am I supposed to do? Any help for the computer illiterate?:( [/QUOTE]
