First of all, if you%26#039;re using cPanel you don%26#039;t necessarily need a FTP program... the File Manager may actually be more secure, if you%26#039;re accessing your account via HTTPS (SSL) which you should be, to protect your password from hijackers. With File Manager all you need to get files to and from your server (and set permissions on files and folders, and decompress archives, and all sorts of other goodies) is your web browser.

As to actual FTP software, have a look at the full-featured and free FileZilla...

First off, FTP stands for %26#039;File Transfer Protocol%26#039;.

I personally recommend FireFTP. It%26#039;s an add-on to Firefox.

It can be found and downloaded here %26gt;%26gt;%26gt; http://fireftp.mozdev.org/

I%26#039;m so glad you%26#039;re signing up with 1%26amp;1. That%26#039;s the first step in the right direction.

Please contact me if you need %26quot;serious%26quot; help as there is a posting limit for answers to questions.
