» HOW TO FTP UPLOAD FILES

If you don't have an FTP client then you can download one for free named SmartFTP. This tutorial is based around SmartFTP but all other clients operate pretty much the same way and the settings will all be the same.


Download SmartFTP here


When you load your FTP program you will be asked to enter a server address, a login name and a password.

Address: ftp.yourdomain.com
Login: username@yourdomain.com
Password: yourpassword


Once you've entered this information hit the enter key and the program will connect to the server.

The folder that you want to put all your html files into is called 'mainwebsite_html'.

Similarly CGI goes in the 'mainwebsite_cgi' folder and Perl goes in 'mainwebsite_perl'.

The program operates very much like explorer. It's just a matter of dragging and dropping the files into the correct folders from your local drive.
