I was asked to login using ftp to edit a website. How do I make changes and save them in ftp? In Internet Explorer I typed in the ftp address and got to the folders which are links that take me to the Internet Explorer. I tried going to the menu in Explorer (view then source) and make my changes but my changes will not save.

You can use an FTP client such as this free one:

http://filezilla-project.org/

Or, use an editor that will let you set up a FTP connection and open/save directly to the FTP server. A pretty good free one is:

http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/

Greg,

I used filezilla and was able to get the files and make changes. Thanks for the recommendation!
