Yep, you're getting there, Filezilla would be very similar to something like DAP, which is another FTP application.
If you were to upload something to an FTP server, it would be like copying it to the server, and then everytime someone downloads it they copy it off the server onto their computer.
If redhat has an FTP server, then yes I would use it instead of downloading it through your web browser
However, if you're going to be sending photos I would recommend email

FileZilla is a fast FTP and SFTP client for Windows
with a lot of features. FileZilla Server is a
reliable FTP server.

BTW: I was previously using an older FREE version of WS_FTP
but now they want $40 for WS_FTP so I switched FileZilla and
love it!

PS: I searched on.. FTP
and no other FTP client was listed previously in this thread.

I use and recommend this one. Get it while you can.

Thumbs up Album Creator for upload
Wow did I find a fantastic program. I have been searching for a decent photo gallery template (for weeks) and ran into a free program instead. It is awesome. Amazing that it is free. Creates galleries with your files quickly and will upload them via ftp as well. I managed to get about 30 photos up in 15 minutes and that included reading just the basic instructions to get going. Lots of templates and source included. etc......

The very best free money manager program I've found:
Money Manager by TheZeal Software http://www.thezeal.com/software/manager/features.asp

The free hot key program I use every day:
PS Hot Launch VVL by PS Soft Lab
http://www.pssoftlab.com/pshl_info.phtml

Has anybody mentioned Screenshot Captor?
It is loaded with features I have only found in commercial screen capture products, especially the autoscroll capture.

Note that you must obtain a free license key and update it twice; see info here:

Free program that enables panoramic, scrolling screensavers.

Also download some of the free panoramas available in the same site.

REQUEST:

Anybody know of a free backup program that can back up open, currently in-use files of programs that "lock" those files so that only those programs are allowed to read & write those files? Some commercial programs like SyncBackSE and Genie have that feature, but I haven't been able to find freebies that do.

Maybe I'm asking too much of freeware!

I'm sure most of you on this site are already familiar with this one, but for those of you who aren't...this is an awesome and FREE alternative to MS Office (which many people think they are getting when they buy a new computer, but later find out just how expensive it is.) It is fully compatible with MS Office, so you can share your documents with people that are using it, and you can open theirs with your program of OPEN OFFICE.

DriveImage XML claims to do so.

JohnWill, DriveImage XML looks to be an interesting imaging and restore product of drives and partitions. I'm going to keep a note of it even though I have been planning on purchasing Acronis True Image.

The backup freeware (or open-source program) I am looking for, however, is more to backup individual folders in close to real-time. For example, I would like to make backups to my flash drive of my Desktop folder every 10 minutes or so while one of my word processors is running (which normally completely "locks" the read & write rights of its files stored in the Desktop folder). This way, in case of an unexpected freeze/shutdown, I would only have to reconstruct at maximum 10 minutes worth of work. The same applies to any other very regularly changed/updated file from programs which do not have an automatic backup feature configurable for short time intervals.
