Hey buddy! I have problems
Hey buddy! I have problems period, using filezilla. One problem is logging in; second is files uploading. So my problems may be a bit different than yours, but I am not crazy about using them either. One minute I'm logged on, and the next - Disconnected. They confuse the heck out of me. I'm not a newbie working online, but they sure make me feel like one. I only use them because my mentor & trainer suggested them. Others seem to be happy with the software functions. Then again, it could be something I'm doing wrong, but I do feel your pain. Trust me on this! Of course I won't curse them though. :-}
