hmm,
Let me be sure I follow you.
This is a program that runs in windows, that would let me move the contents
of my shellworld workspace,  <i have ftp here too of course> to say the
storage on my website<where I also  have ftp,> and that is not located on
shellworld?
if all this is true, where can i find this tool?
