I want to post AMVs (anime music videos) at animemusicvideos.org, but I haven't got a clue how!! they keep saying I need an FTP, but WTF is that and how do I use it?! plz help me!

FTP means File Transfer Protocol, as opposed to HTTP which is waht web pages are, HTTP - hypertext transfer protocol

as for doing it, no idea lol, i may check out the site

there are how to guides on the site http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/

Actualy this site exists to make AMV FTP obsolete :)

FTP is easy to set up and there are many free programs that you can download so all you need to do is a little research, I have a friend that set up one so he can download his MP3s from anywhere where he can get an internet connections ^_^

Google search smartftp. It is free, and good. Also easy for noobs...

u can get iqswitch or something like that, i forget the name. their just programs that lets interact through the net. (FTP=fill transfer protocol). people usually use FTP to store files online, or to make websites.

To make websites you need a HTTP server, FTP is for transfering files only. I run both a FTP and a HTTP server so I can access my MP3s and even some AVIs from anywhere with internet. I can download some pretty big stuff since my connection has a rather speedy upload. I personally use bulletproof FTP server and SmartFTP or leechFTP clients (depending on if I am uploading or downloadng and what).

u can upload it using CUteFTP

Well, technically HTTP is only the transfer protocol; web pages are HTML of one version or another, sent via HTTP, like many files are sent via FTP. And you can send files by HTTP as well. But yeah, basically you're right.

ftp is both a protocol and a program that can use to transfer files between 2 computer in internet.
