Hi there, I've just built a Genesis site on my Mac using MAMP. I've periodically uploaded it to my testing server using Transmit FTP Client. This is the way I normally do things and it all works fine. However, this time the client is based in China and they want me to upload to their Windows server. I've never used a Windows server before. My FTP client isn't even finding the server. It has been suggested that I may need to use something called MS Remote Desktop Connection for Mac. Is this really necessary?
Personally, I'd refuse to work with anything hosted on a Windows server. It is NOT an optimal environment for WordPress.

I provide development and training services for designers • Find me on Twitter and Google+Yes I eventually chose a new hosting company in China which uses Unix. I have to say, that generally speaking, working with China based hosting companies seems to be a bit of a nightmare. The company I'm trying to host the site with now is called sino hosting. Their customer service is the pits and they want to charge me an extra £200 ($259) per year just to enable cPanel. I've even been told by the Chinese Domain registrar that I need to register the DNS address - Aaaaaargh.
I think all future Chinese websites will be hosted in the US or UK.
