Answer : how to use cute ftp

Hello Sanjeev:
Cuteftp is one of many commercial ftp clients available for download. The main site is:
http://www.cuteftp.com/products/ftp_clients.aspx
The software is well documented with help files and will work as an ftp CLIENT - that is, you can connect to an established ftp SERVER (such as one maintained by a hosting service).
If you don't have an ftp server to work with your client you will have to establish one - for example, if you want to transfer files from your computer to another computer across the Internet (or other network using TCP/IP), the other computer must be running an ftp SERVER while you are running an ftp CLIENT (the roles can be switched, as well - transfers can be made both ways).
There are many free ftp servers around. One of the most popular is filezillla, found here:
http://filezilla-project.org/
I suggest you read up a little on the ftp protocol and its uses before you make a choice of software - there are a number of places where you can get this information. One is ftpplanet:
http://www.ftpplanet.com/ftpresources/basics.htm
there is a good article on ftp in Wikipedia but it is more technical than the one reference above:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Transfer_Protocol
Let us know if this is what you were looking for.
