Publish your content

Once you've finished your page/site, you'll need to upload it to your web server. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) allows a person to transfer files between two computers, generally connected via the Internet. You can either FTP your files via the command line (i.e. DOS), or you can find yourself an FTP client which executes all the commands in a drag-and-drop interface. We would highly recommend the latter to beginners and experts alike. FTP clients make the publishing process simple.

FTP Basics
To FTP, you will need to know the host location, as well as your username and password. All your web site contents are stored in the folder, /www/.

Using an FTP Client
Most FTP clients have the same basic layout, functionality, and price. Choosing one is simply a matter of personal preference. Some of the more popular clients for Windows-based computers include WS_FTP, CuteFTP, and BulletProof FTP and for Macintosh computers include Fetch, and Interarchy. All clients come with documentation, and it shouldn't take you long to figure out how to get started. But here are a few basics:

• There will be some kind of "Site Manager" feature which will store all your FTP locations and their corresponding login information. Once you enter this info, the client will automatically log you in.
• There will be three screens. One representing your local machine, one representing the remote host, and one which shows the files that are queued for transfer. You will need to navigate to the correct folders on both your local machine and the host machine.
• You will then highlight the files you wish to upload on your local machine, and there should be a button at the top that queues the files for upload. The upload might execute immediately, or you might have to hit a "Go" button first.
• That's it! Your files are uploaded! You should now be able to go to your URL and view the page.

If your site is enabled with Microsoft Frontpage, you may use it to replace or edit this page by connecting to this server by using the username and password that was supplied to you. Make sure to open the RootWeb when you login.

Macromedia Dreamweaver is another excellent program that allows you to make changes to your HTML pages as well as manage your files and FTP from the program. Your FTP settings can be found in your "Define Site" panel. All hosting plans are Dreamweaver compatible.
