Microsoft
FrontPage Users
Customers wishing to use Microsoft FrontPage to manage their site should
install the FrontPage Server Extensions and should use only the
publishing feature within FrontPage to transfer files. Using regular FTP
can corrupt the extensions, disabling the functionality of the FrontPage
web and requiring that the site be deleted to reinstall the extensions.
Configuring Your FTP Software
To connect to your site by FTP, you will need to configure your FTP
client with the following information.
| FTP Host |
ftp.yourdomain.com |
| Username |
Your account username |
| Password |
Your account password |
The initial working directory, port number and all other
configuration options should be left at their defaults.
Transferring Your Files
When you connect to the FTP server, you will placed in the home
directory for your account. You will see system folders in your home
directory as described on the You can transfer files directly to your
home directory or create subdirectories within in. As soon as a file is
uploaded to the web server, it is available for all to see.
File Names
Our operating system is case sensitive. In other words, the file name 'page.html'
is NOT the same as 'Page.html'. If your HTML code references a 'page.html',
but the actual file name is in uppercase, this will result in a File Not
Found error. This applies to directory names as well. To prevent errors,
we suggest naming all files in lowercase. You should not use spaces and
punctuation characters although the underscore character ('_') is
acceptable.
