Web Hosting Support - FTP Client Setup

In order to upload your web site, you will need to:

- Have your username and password ready.

- Have an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) Program

The examples are using WS_FTP for Windows, however, the settings are the same for any Macintosh or Windows FTP client.

FTP Client Settings:
FTP Host Name: yourdomain.com
Home Page Directory: httpdocs
Name of index (top) page: index.html or index.htm (All lowercase)
URL of homepage: http://www.yourdomain.com/

* Your web site files must be placed in the /httpdocs directory!
 

Windows FTP

When copying the files into your directory you PUT them into the directory. This can be done by dragging the file for transfer from you desktop or file to the directory window showing in the fetch directory window. You can also click on the PUT button and select from the file from the dialog box.  

With the PC based FTP program you change directory to the directory that hold your files. The transfer of files is then accomplished by selecting the files and then clicking the directional arrows in the center of the window.
