WS_FTP is one of the best and possibly the most widely used FTP clients around. The computers in the labs at Moraine Valley have WS_FTP LE installed on them. WS_FTP is very easy to setup and use.

If you want to use this program at home you must download and install it on your home machine.  The movie below will guide you through the steps necessary to upload and download files to the IMS Web Server.

Using an FTP client can be intimidating at first but never fear, the instructors at Moraine Valley have developed several tutorials to help you succeed the first time you try. Please review the materials below and if you have any additional questions please contact your instructor.
