REPRESENTATIVE TRACY:  I'm sure all of you have heard of "Carl's FTP" but I wonder how many people know what it is or where it is.  So I'm going to tell you under one circumstance, you must flood it with all of your files.  If you aren't following me, hold on, I'm going to explain right now.

Ok, an FTP is much like a web site.  The only difference is that everyone can share what goes on it. But the FTP doesn't use any sort of programing codes or languages like HTML or JAVAScript, it's a storage area.  Imagine a folder on your desktop holding all sorts of files and even some sub folders.  Good, now imagine that online where anybody can upload files too it and download files from it.  That's an FTP.  Everyone can see and use what everyone else puts on the FTP.

So how do you upload files to the FTP? Well, let's have a tutorial. Copy/Paste ftp://bobjoe.myip.org into the address box of Internet Explorer.  Press enter and welcome to Carl's FTP.  Now, how to upload.  I hope to God you are using Windows 95 or better otherwise I'll have to beat you. Fine a picture file or really any file at all.  It doesn't matter where it's from - just pick one or highlight multiple ones, it doesn't matter.  Ok, drag them into Internet Explorer with the rest of the files already in the FTP.  It may take a while to load depending on the size of the file(s) you sent and your connection to the internet.  When it's done, pat yourself on the back, you've just uploaded to carl's ftp.

Now, send a bunch of other junk to his FTP.  The more the better, upload pictures, images, MP3s, word files, works files, programs, movies, EVERYTHING can be uploaded to carl's FTP. Just send the stuff that people will use first, like music, pictures, and other multimedia.  After that, start sending crap.

Contact Carl or myself for assistance.
