Thanks for the virtual folders explanation and the link to the 
drag-and-drop.  I'll look into it.

As for the FTP upload, that's actually a bit of a tricky issue.  A couple of 
days ago I attempted to log into my Tripod account via the built-in WinXP 
command-line FTP program to see if uploading would work then.  The result 
was that sometimes the upload would not even work at all (see below for 
description), and other times the speed was slow - and by "slow" I mean too 
slow to be of any use...on the order of 0.10 kb/sec using a DSL connection. 
Occasionally I would get responses like the following:

ftp> bin
200 Type set to I (IMAGE aka BINARY)
ftp> put
Local file winboxer.zip
Remote file winboxer.zip
200 Port command succeeded.
Could not open BINARY mode data connection.
**** SECOND ATTEMPT WITH SAME CONNECTION***
ftp> put
Local file winboxer.zip
Remote file winboxer.zip
200 Port command succeeded.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection.
(FILE SENT)


As you can see, sometimes the upload would not even work the first attempt, 
and I would have to repeat the commands.  And then, when it finally DID 
decide to upload, every once in a blue moon it would go at its normal fast 
speed but more often than not it would proceed at the unbearably slow 
(almost nonexistant) speed.  I can still browse the internet (and even my 
Tripod FTP account using IE) at blazingly fast speeds while this upload is 
attempting to take place.

Anyway, that's the current situation, which has irritated me beyond 
description, which is why I'm looking for alternate methods to upload files 
to my account.  The main point is that I just want it completely automated. 
I want to just click-and-run one single program on my computer that 
automatically locates the appropriate files to upload - I've gotten it all 
written except for figuring out this uploading issue.

Thanks
Blake
