Uploading Files via FTP

June 2, 2008, 4:32 am

You can upload your files and wbepages using ftp clients such as WS_FTP. Follow the guide instructions below on how to upload files using this client.

1) Dowload a copy of WS_FTP here.

2) Unzip the file to a directory.

3) Run ws_ftp95.exe and you will be prompted by this window: click here to view screenshot.

4) With the access codes provided to you, fill up the window above with the ff. information:

Profile Name: < any name you want >

FTP Host: ftp.yourdomain.com OR < assigned ip address >

Host Type: < Automatic detect >

User ID: < username >

Password: < password > (also click on the save password checkbox)

Reminder: If you click on the Startup Tab (beside the active General tab) you can put public_html/ in the Initial Remote Site Folder field. The downloadble file is already configured with this so you need not do this step. You can also fill up the Initial Local Folder with the exact pass to your files in your PC. This way, when you connect to your FTP, the path to both the local and remote copies of your pages are already set.

5) Once connected, the left side of the window will reflect your local files and folders while the right side window reflects your files on the server.

6) To upload, select the file on the left and click the “arrow” button pointing to the right.

7) To download files, select the respective files in the right side window and click on the “arrow” button pointing to the left.
