Mod 3 tasks - ftp - fails to pickup!!

I know that's not what it stands for, but I can't connect to the ftp to upload my test web page. However, it looks like others are having the same problem, so i have posted my problem and will wait and see what happens. At least I understand the process much better now and the url for my web page is file:///D:/INT%20STUDIES/Mod%203%20tasks/Mod%203%20work%20area/Volcano/index.html
