Quick and simple way to download files from FTP

June 4th, 2009 No comments

I’ve written this mini how-to as a simple reference to help non-advanced PC users to quickly download files from an FTP server. Let’s say, someone asked you to download several files from his/their FTP and gave you an access credentials. I will use the following credentials in this example:

Ftp host: ftp.example.com
User name: user1
Password: pass1

This information is a minimum that one must have to successfully connect and authenticate in some FTP site provided that on an FTP server no anonymous access is granted, or the data was made available to a specific user, user1 in our case.

Windows XP File Association Fixes

Original article is posted here. In this page I’ve added links to REG files.

The files listed here are all ZIP files, which contain a REG (Registry) file. Download the ZIP and open it. Extract the REG file to your hard disk and double click it. Answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad. Each of the REG files contains the default settings for the file extension indicated.

NOTE: If your EXE file associations are corrupted, it can be difficult to open REGEDIT, or to even import REG files. To work around this, press CTRL-ALT-DEL and open Task Manager. Once there, click File, then hold down the CTRL key and click New Task (Run). This will open a Command Prompt window. Enter REGEDIT.EXE and press Enter.
Thanks to Nigel Andrews for this tip.
