WS_FTP
Step 1: On startup, Ws_ftp displays the
Session Properties dialog box.
The Profile Name is any name you wish to give the Ws_ftp profile.
The Host
Address is your domain name (hostingkey.com), along
with your User Name and Password. The Host Type is Automatic
detect. Click the
Ok button when you are done entering your info.
Step 2: After Ws_ftp is logged-in,
double-click on the pages directory. This is
your www directory, and where you will publish your pages to.
Probably the first thing you will want to do is create your default document.
This should have a file
name of index.html.
The left window shows the files and directories
on your computer, and the right
window shows what's on the remote host. Select a file and use the
arrow buttons to
move files to and from the server.
Remember:
1. The pages directory is your www
directory.
2. All CGI scripts must go in the cgi-bin
directory.
ASCII vs Binary
- text based files get uploaded in ascii mode
(.txt, .doc, .html, .cgi)
- non text based files are uploaded in binary
mode (.jpg, .gif, .exe, .mdb, .zip)
If you are not using FrontPage, once you've
connected you'll have to change to the pages directory to
upload your files. If you upload without doing this you will not
see the updates in your browser (nor will anyone else!).
If you are using FrontPage, you will need
to configure it to work with our servers. Please see the FrontPage
Support.
