After you have your
information stored in your FTP program,
and you double click on the FTP program
icon, this screen comes up. You double
click on the URL you want to upload
information for, and you will be connected
to your Web host:
After you're connected to your Web host,
this screen comes up. This is where
you can upload your files to your host.
There are 2 arrows in the exact center
of the screeen. One is pointing right
and one is pointing left. This is how
you transfer files back and forth between
your server and your computer. The one
pointing right transfers files from
your computer to your server. The one
pointing left transfers files from your
server to your computer. Highlight a
file from your computer on the left,
click on the arrow pointing right, and
that file will upload to your server.
Also, you can select the file on the
left you want to upload, double click
on it, and it will show up on the right
side. This means it has uploaded to
your server. Your server will let you
know which folder on the right you need
to upload to:
At the bottom of the above screen, you
can see the words ASCII, Binary, and
Auto. I always have my ftp program set
on auto. When you're uploading text
files, like html or cgi scripts, you
would upload them in ASCII. Just select
that button, and it will upload properly.
When you're uploading images, you upload
them in Binary. Just select the Binary
button and it will upload properly.
Well, that's about all. Your FTP
program will come with instructions
that are a lot better than mine, but
this will give you an idea of how
it works.
