Downloading an FTP Program
Download an FTP program (this is used to put your files on the web). We recommend
FlashFXP,
available here from there official website at http://www.flashfxp.com/.
More specifically download the FlashFXP Mini Setup file (1.30mb)
http://www.flashfxp.ws/zip/FlashFXP_21_Setup-nohelp.exe
Adding an FTP Account
Install the new FTP program you have downloaded and open it. Now we will presume
that you have taken our advice and downloaded FlashFXP.
So look at the top of the screen click 'Sites > Site Manager' or you can
simply press your 'F4' key (located at the top of your keyboard).
Now we're going to add your FTP account to the program. With the new Site
Manager window you should now have open, look towards the bottom left and click
'New Site', it will then ask you for a site name, call it anything you want.
Now you need to fill in the boxes marked IP Address, User Name, Password (Port
should be 21 by default).
Ignore the other boxes, they are not required for what we want to do. To complete
just click 'Apply' at the bottom of the window. You have now added your FTP
account, so close site manager click 'Close'.
Connecting To Your FTP
You should now have a split screen in front of you, the left screen should be
looking at your computer and the right screen is for your FTP.
First of all let's find your directory, above the left screen will be a drop
down box, simply find the folder where you have stored your website. Now above
the right screen you should see an icon that looks like lightning click it and
you new site should pop up, go down to it and click on it. Now it's connecting
to your website (info will show up below the right screen, don't worry about
that unless it comes up with unable to connect, then mail support@fdhost.co.uk).
When the FTP connects, there should already be 2 folders on your site that
are labelled 'bin' & 'cgi-bin' they are for CGI scripts, which is at the
moment of no intrest to you so just leave them there.
Now your connected simply select all the files and folders you want to upload
from the left screen and drag them over to the right screen and then you will
see the uploading status at the bottom of the your screen, once that is complete
your website will be online.
To check just visit your website.
You are now done and your website should be online!
Notice: Websites always look for an index file (index.htm, index.html,
index.php, etc). Please make sure the first file you want your viewers to see
is labelled as an index page.
