FTP Files to Your Website
If you have not yet selected a web hosting company, then you may want to read our article, "Finding A Quality (And Affordable) Web Host". This article will guide you through the process of finding a web host that satisfies your needs without costing you a fortune.
When you purchased your web hosting service, your web host gave you FTP credentials consisting of the FTP site, user name and password for your account. You will use this information to put the pages you create online.
GoLive, Dreamweaver and FrontPage all come with embedded FTP programs, so you can just enter your FTP credentials into their client and follow your program?s instructions to publish your pages.
There are times, however, when you may want to FTP files to your FTP server without using your development environment?s embedded FTP functionality. Therefore it?s a good idea to go ahead and set up a separate client for uploading things like images, pdfs, or other linked objects. Go online and download a free FTP program. Several free FTP clients you may choose to use:
Leach FTP (Download)
WSFTP (Download)
Microsoft Explorer ? Type the FTP location into the browser and then enter your credentials into the popup box.
Install the program and then enter your FTP information into the connection screen. Once you have successfully connected to your FTP site, posting your web site is as easy as copying the files from your home computer to your website.
