If you have yet to upload files to your internet directory then there are a few things you need to do.
Assuming you have an ISP you can upload your Internet documents(html pages) several different ways. Probably the most convient way is to use an FTP program. There are several popular commercial versions available and free ones too. I did use WS_FTP95PRO however this program cost me almost 50 dollars . I also was told i would get a cd but then they reneged on this and to top this off the one e-mail i sent to support was ignored. So while its full featured I found a free ftp program thats really all you could want,,its easy as pie to use and is availble at the following link. Its called ftp commander. Get it,save your money. zd net downloads Most of the popular commericial varieties are available in demo versions . Usually you have 30 days to evaluate and decide if you want to purchase the particular product. These have many features but I only use a handful of them.
Usually the ftp program will show a directory of your local files on the left and your remote directory located on your server on the right side of screen. To upload a local file to your www (index file )just highlight the file on your local directory,choose the folder on your remote that you wish to transfer file to,and click on transfer button.
Another way to upload is to use the ftp protocol . To do this log onto your servers ftp. Heres how.
Using your browser, type in your ISP's ftp URL. i.e.
ftp://ftp.'your isp'.net/'user name Entering this and sending it will bring up your servers login page.
Type in your user name and password.
This should bring you to your www directory. If you need to create this directory then use the following Unix commands.
Start by listing your current directories. Type in "ls" this will list your existing directories.
Type in "mkdir filename" replace filename with www . Don't type the quotation marks.
Now take a look at your directory using "ls -l" this command uses the " l " flag to tell unix you want to use the long format.
Assuming all went as planned,you now have a directory named www, this is where all your web pages will be.
