save XL file to server via FTP upload

I'd like to use the Save-On-Close Macro to automatically perform an FTP
upload to save the file to my server site. Before I try to write the
macro code, I need to figure out how to do it manually.

I'm running Excel97 under WinXP. I could probably write (with lots of
learning) a .bat file to do the job using a separate FTP application,
but then I'd have to install that file on all machines from which file
was to be uploaded.

The help menu says:

On File Menu - Click "Save as"
in "save in" box, click internet locations (FTP)
[ I only find a commands box in upper right corner,]

The HELP instructions then say:
from the list of FTP sites, double click the site your want

[In the COMMANDS BOX - There is the add/modify FTP Locations option.
And my FTP site is listed in the list of "FTP Sites."
When I click on it, it shows "upload.myisp.com" where myisp represents
my ISP. ]

[I then insert my password in the password box and click ok]

The instructions said...

then double click the location within the site
in file name box, type name of work book, click save

I never get the option to select the location within the site.

CAN I DO A DIRECT UPLOAD OF AN EXCEL97 FILE TO AN FTP SITE?
