To upload files to your Web site, you need an FTP client.
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It lets you connect
to a remote computer, such as a hosting server in another
state. Using FTP, you can move files from your machine to
the remote one and create folders for those files on that
computer.
Some popular FTP clients are:
If you are using Windows XP, you can create a network connection
to your Web site. You might also be able upload your file using
the same software you used to create your Web site. You can
use popular programs like Macromedia Dreamweaver and Microsoft
FrontPage to upload your Web site.
You can also use the Hosting Manager to upload files to your
Web site. See Using the
Hosting Manager Web-Based FTP Client for more information.
After downloading and installing one of these clients, you
can use it to connect to your hosting account. These are your
FTP settings:
FTP User Name
This is the user name for your hosting account.
FTP Password
This your password for your hosting account.
Web Site URL
http://www.example.com
FTP Site URL
ftp://www.example.com
Start Directory
Some FTP clients will ask for a "Home" or "Start"
directory. Our hosting service does not require this. Leave
the box blank. If the client requires a value, enter a single
forward slash followed by your hosting account user name (i.e.,
/<user name>).
