Accessing Your Online File Folder Using Windows XP
Windows XP comes with a network manager that you can use as an FTP client. You use an FTP client to access your Online File Folder from a remote location.
To access your Online File Folder via Windows XP Network places you will need :
- FTP User Name
- This is the user name for your Online File Folder account.
- FTP Password
- This is the password for your Online File Folder account.
- Web Site URL
- http://www.onlinefilefolder.com
- FTP Site URL
- ftp://www.onlinefilefolder.com
In order to use Windows XP Network Places as an FTP client, you need to create a network place for your Online File Folder. Once you create a network place for your Online File Folder, you can access your files and folders in the same way you access any of your folders in Windows.
To Create a Network Place
- In Windows XP, click Start and select My Network Places.
- Under the Network Tasks sidebar, select Add a network place. The Add a Network Place Wizard displays.
- Click Next.
- Select Choose another network location and click Next.
- Enter the Internet address for your Online File Folder: ftp://www.onlinefilefolder.com. Click Next.
- Make sure that the "Log on anonymously" option is not selected. Enter your Online File Folder user name. Click Next.
- The name of your network place displays. Provide a nickname if you want or click Next to accept the default.
- Click Finish to complete the set up.
After you click Finish, your network place opens in a new window, and the “Log On As” window displays. Enter your FTP (Online File Folder) password and click Log On.
You can open your network place at anytime by selecting Start > My Network Places and clicking on the Online File Folder.
