Q: How do I FTP to my web space on my domain?
A:
Most FTP clients have the same basic layout, functionality, and price. Choosing one is simply a matter of personal preference. Some of the more popular clients for Windows-based computers include
WS_FTP,
CuteFTP, and
BulletProof FTP and for Macintosh computers include
Fetch, and
Interarchy. All clients come with documentation, and it shouldn't take you long to figure out how to get started. But here are a few basics:
- There will be some kind of "Site Manager" feature
which will store all your FTP locations and their corresponding login
information. Once you enter this info, the client will automatically log you
in.
- There will be three screens. One representing your
local machine, one representing the remote host, and one which shows the files
that are queued for transfer. You will need to navigate to the correct folders
on both your local machine and the host machine.
- You will then highlight the files you wish to upload
on your local machine, and there should be a button at the top that queues the
files for upload. The upload might execute immediately, or you might have to hit
a "Go" button first.
- That's it! Your files are uploaded! You should now
be able to go to your URL and view the page.
