File Transfer Protocol

Now I feel like I'm drowning. I downloaded the recommended program okay, read the directions, filled in the relevant bits (probably with wrong information). It won't let me connect. I've put up a new topic (pats myself on the back) asking, or should I say screaming for help, the desktop is covered with all sorts of picture thingys......oooohhhh I do hope there is someone out there, I'm too scared to delete any of them.
