I did look this up on google but didn't have the time to fully explore 
it. My wonderful ftp server locks me out if I send too many requests it 
doesn't like. I downloaded something from the software centre which 
claimed to do the job, it didn't, it just got me locked out. So I wasn't 
able to try anything else until my provider released my IP. I'll have to 
give it another go when I get a decent connection and a day to myself.
