You have two methods available to you to upload / download the files that make up your web site to the web server. The traditional method is to use an FTP client application. The second method is to use Microsoft Front Page Server Extensions in conjunction with your local development application ( Front Page or Visual Interdev ).
FTP Access
The original mechanism for copying files through the Internet is through the use of the FTP protocols and FTP server and client software. Our web server, in addition to being a web server, also serves as a FTP Server to facilitate the movement of files to and from the server. Through FTP you can upload ( copy files to the web server ) and download ( copy files from the web server ) that constitute your web site(s).
To move files to / from the web server you need an FTP client utility. While the command line utility found in most operating systems will do the job, GUI based FTP clients now exist which make the task of moving files much easier. You may use any FTP client utility you choose. If you are not currently using a GUI based FTP client utility, we suggest downloading one of the following utilities. WS_FTP LE may be downloaded from Ipswitch's download center. WS_FTP LE is free qualified users. Cupertino FTP client sofware may be downloaded from members.nbci.com/CupertinoFTP. CupertinoFTP is a free product.
The information you need to configure your FTP client is:
Information needed Sample Information
FTP Server Name www.YourDomainName.com
UserName widget
The login name we assigned to you.
Password The password we assigned you or the value you last changed it to.
Initial Directory Leave this field blank if it exists in your FTP client software. The Microsoft FTP service automatically sets your initial directory based upon your username.
Front Page Server Extensions
If you use Front Page Server extensions, when you create a new project you must connect to the existing Front Page web on the server. Use your web URL like www.myDomainName.com as the host address and when the dialogue box appears which allows you to create and new Front Page web or connect to an existing web, select the option to connect to an existing Front Page Web and select your web site from the selection list.
