The latest version of wsftp (is it 7.6) is really great. It will feed all the information in when you click on ftp link sites. Before you had to find the place inside some options to put the proper numbers in. Now if you need to do it manually, you would just click on the top right button after the address and it will just open up a window template for you to put in that info.
There are literally thousands of open FTP sites. And there are ftp search engines that will find open ftp sites. Long before limelight, shareaza, kazaa and napster, the knowitalls were using ftp sites. Then when the music industry went bizerk about Napster, the knowitalls couldn't understand what all the fuss was about since they had traded songs that way for many years. The oldtimers I spoke to who don't even use computers couldn't understand what all the fuss was about since they had taped songs off the radio since the 60s and nobody ever said anything or ever said it was illegal for them to do so. I guess the music industry thought that tape quality wasn't worth going to court over. But the point was that in the old days almost everyone who had some kind of tape recorder or boom box taped songs off the radio and nobody ever said it was illegal to do so. Perhaps singers and songwriters were all making enough money then that they didn't need to complain.
