Is there a way that I can manage files using FTP programs for Yahoo Groups? thanks!

seems all webservers cost $ except angelfire, geocites, and tripod. i dont want to spend $. I dont even know if i need a webserver. I just want to take all html files and jpgs and mpgs and store them somewhere. this book says i HAVE to use a FTP to send these files to a webserver. since I’m not sure if i need a webserver i dont know if i need a FTP. also do FTPs cost money? This book says I can download FTP software that may or may not be free but it also says I can use Internet explorer and type in ftp:/myname:mypassword@siteaddress.net/home/web/wherever. i dont understand this link. is the password and name from the webserver? is teh siteaddress.net the webserver address? or is it just a FTP address? if its just a FTP address why does it suggest downloading FTP programs.. and how do I find a FTP address? I’m just looking for a cool way to store files on the net like i am on my computer with directories and subdirectories without paying money none at all. help

Ok here is the deal. I have a mapped drive “r” that is mapped to a share on ifs on the as400. The 400 is locked down very tight and cannot be loosened up at all because we are on a shared box with different facilities. A file is created every night during day end and I want to do the following: 1. copy the one file that is generated to a differnt folder 2. move the copy from that folder to another server on my local network. This needs to be done everyday and automatically without user interaction. We tried to use ftp programs but they have us so severely limited we cannot do it. So basically I need either a batch file or a script to transfer the file from my mapped 400 drive to another server(locally). I know very little about scripting. Any ideas? also the file name is different everyday.

I am using Windows XP Professional and using Zone Alarms as my firewall

What are file allowances in FTP programs?
