4. How do I upload files to my domain web site?

FTP settings:

1. The first step is to establish a connection to the Internet. (We can't stress this one enough!)

2. Open your FTP program.

3. Enter your domain name (include the .com extension) in the Host Name/Address field.

4. Type your username in the User ID field. Type the password that was assigned with your username in the Password field then click the box in front of Save Password.

5. Click OK. This will connect you to the web server where you will upload your files to.

6. Click to highlight the web page files on your computer (the Local System) that you want to upload to the web server then click on the arrow that points to the Remote System to upload the files. Upload all files to the www folder. The file name for the first page of your web site MUST be index.html.

Troubleshooting:
If you can't view your web site, make sure that the file for the first page of your site is named index.html (all lowercase letters). Also, all files should be in the www folder on the Remote System.

HTML is case sensitive. This means that if your file is called: Picture.jpg, your URL must be typed exactly the same way. Many people store all of their files in lower case letters to make things easier to remember.

Make sure your picture files end with either .jpg or .gif to be viewable on the Internet.
