A major requirement for maintaining a
successful website is a good FTP program. Two such programs are WS-FTP
and CuteFTP, but there are other programs available.
Once you have installed the program, you will
need to set up a connection to us:
-
- Set the Host name or Server as
yourdomain.ext.
-
- Enter yourdomain.ext for the Username
and enter your Admin Password.
-
- Once you are connected to the
Internet, open the program and double click on the connection you have
created.
If you are having particular problems setting
up your FTP software, be sure to check the help files that come with
the software, or send email to the author of the package for the
quickest response.
After logging in, you will be automatically
put into your home directory. You will need to move to your public
directory. In a graphical FTP program, all you need to do is double
click on the public folder in your home directory on our server. In
WS-FTP, the center of your screen will have two buttons which will
allow you to upload and download files.
