This is a very short e-book to read. It contains a short introduction to the file transfer process using an FTP program. The software given attention here is WS_FTP Pro, so it may seem like this is just a step by step guide to getting started with this program. It also provides screenshots of every step to help you along with the process and to check if you're doing it all correctly. It also provides a brief explanation of file permissions. I think it would be nice if it also paid careful attention to the other really popular FTP programs out there, because the interface is usually different although the principle is the same. Otherwise, it's a nice, short, and helpful guide for people who need some help in getting started using FTP programs. I would probably advise having to download this if you're able to get this same information in other websites, though, especially if they contain information on the exact software you're using.

How To FTP By Gary Killops
Idiot’s guide to FTP, November 28, 2007
This is a very simple and straightforward guide on how to use FTP to transfer computer files to your website. But while it is simple and straightforward, every step you need to take is here in this report – from FTP program installation to actual use. Also, each step is accompanied with an illustration, particularly a screen capture of the window of the program. There is no way you can get it wrong.
Not only does this guide teach how to install and set up FTP, it also teaches you to check if in fact your files have been uploaded to your website.
Everything you need is right here in this report. And, in case you encounter problems, the author provided links to support and help sites.
Just a nitpick, though - while I have no problem with the fact that he based his tutorial on the FTP program WS_FTP Pro, I hope he explained why this is his program of choice. For example, is there an advantage using this over other programs?
