SUMMARY
In Office 97, you can open and save presentations directly from or
to an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) Web site. This article describes how
to do this.
MORE INFORMATION
Opening a File from an FTP Site
To open a file from an FTP site, follow these steps:
- On the File menu, click Open.
- In the Look In list, click Add/Modify FTP Locations.
- In the Name Of FTP Site box, type the name of the FTP Server. For
example, if the FTP site is located on the Internet, you will enter
the name by using this format:
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com
If the FTP site is part of your company's Intranet, you will enter the
name by using this format:
ftp://servername/folder
- If the FTP site supports logging in as Anonymous, click the Anonymous
option. If you must have a user account on the FTP site, click the User
option and then type your name in the User list.
- Type your password (if you have one) in the Password box.
- Click Add.
- Click OK.
The FTP site will now appear in the list of sites where you can open or
save files.
Saving a File to an FTP Site
- On the File menu, click Save As.
- In the Look In list click the name of the FTP Location. The path
should look similar to the following:
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/
If you have not defined an FTP site, see the "Opening a File
from an FTP Site" section of this article.
Provided you have rights to the FTP site, you should be able to
save presentations to the FTP site.
Troubleshooting
This feature requires that you have Internet or Intranet access from
your computer. You can verify your connection to the FTP site by
following these steps:
- On the Windows Start menu, click Run.
- In the Run dialog box, type the name of the FTP site. For example,
type this:
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com
If your Web browser starts and you can see the contents of the FTP site,
you have the correct access to the site.
This feature also requires that you have open and save privileges on
the FTP site.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
