FTP Uploading files

What is FTP?

FTP means File Transfer Protocol.It will allow you to upload your website files to your web server eg: ws_ftp, cute FTP, etc. 

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

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.
