You don't really need to install anything to upload on a ftp server. There is a command line ftp client shipped with windows... I'm quite sure it was here even since the 16 bits version of windows (windows 3.1, before windows 95), if not in MSDOS. To use it : First, copy the savegame file in the root directory of your windows partition. You could do otherwise, but it would be more complicated. In windows use the key combination windows + r (holding the windows key down, then hit and release the r key), then, type cmd, in the black ugly command line window, type in order(valid with return key for each line) : cd \ (don't use mistake the '\' for a '/'...) ftp beta.matrixgames.com wait until it ask for a user name, then type : DistantWorldsCustomer And, as a password, that will not appear on the screen, even as asterisks : upload Then use the command send "thenameofthefile.zip" (of course, change the name for the one of your file, don't forget the '"') Wait for it to finish the send. It can take from a few seconds (on a fiber internet connexion) to hours (on the oldest xdsl technologies) depending on your connexion quality (and the one of matrix games server, and the trafic). If you make any mistake, you will have to restart from the windows+r start, unless you have an idea of what the instructions mean. You will have to take less than 120s between each command, from the moment you type "ftp ..." or you will have to restart, too. I did not test it fully, as I don't have anything to upload there, but it should do it. Now that you've seen how tricky command line can be when you don't know windows "underground", you can install the filezila ftp client (not the same as the ftp server). It is open source and widely used, you can trust there is no malware in it (if you download it from the filezila home), weights next to nothing, and you can uninstall it when you're finished.
