Setting up FTP Tutorial
Welcome to my 1st Windows XP tutorial on how to set up FTP. Because this is such a short process to set up FTP and get it running,
I’ve found that though having FTP right in the “My Network Places” is a fast way to access your website via FTP, when you want to upload or download something that is not very small, it takes a very long time. But with FileZilla, those kind of files are much faster, and that we will include in our next tutorial. Maybe you prefer opening up FileZilla and don’t consider it slower than the “My Network Places”.
Let’s start.
Part 1. Enabling My Network Places to Always Show Up
First, to get FTP in Windows XP, lets activate the “My Network Places” and set it up so that it always appears in the Start Menu.Right-click on your start button and then select “Properties”.

Anyway, press “Customize” (see screenshot below to see what I’m talking about).
Scroll down for the check box next to the “My Network Places” and check it. Then, click OK and OK again at the other window.
Open up “My Network Places”. On the left, right under where it says “Network Tasks”, there is an option, “Add a network place”. Click it.
Uncheck “Log on anonymously” and then enter your user name. And…click “Next”.
Type a name…For example: “name”. And once more…click “Next”.
And…click “Finish”.
There…you’re done. Now to access this FTP location, you simply need to go to “My Network Places” and then double-click on your FTP folder.
Thats all.
