| Your Web browser provides some FTP capability although it is limited, and logins can be awkward. This tutorial shows you how to use your browser. Start your browser. Point your browser to an FTP site that allows anonymous logins. In this example, use ftp://ftp.microsoft.com. The welcome message directs you to a text file containing information about the site. |

|
| Now point your browser to the FTP address given to you by your Web space provider. In the example, you are using a Xoom account, so the address is ftp://ftp.Xoom.com. This FTP site does not allow anonymous logins, so you are given an error message when we try to access it this way. |

| Click the location box to edit the contents. Move to the point between the slash and the 'f;' insert your username and password separated by a colon and with "@" afterward. The whole address should look like: ftp://username:password@ftp.Xoom.com. This is awkward but it does work. Press enter to continue. |

| If you have typed everything correctly, you'll get a "current directory" display similar to this one. Bookmark this page so you won't have to do all that typing again. If a file appears in the display, it is just a placeholder from Xoom; you will upload your simple Web files in a later tutorial. Close your browser when finished. |
