How to FTP using WSFTP.

Setting up WS_FTP to publish your Domain Web Pages

Open WSFTP. 

A "Session Properties" box will appear in the center of the screen.
(NOTE: replace "mydomainname" with your actual domain name.)

 Click  the "New" button and enter the following:

  1. Profile Name: My Web Page ( any descriptive name is OK )
  2. Host Name: www.mydomainname.com
  3. Host Type: "Automatic Detect
  4. User ID:  mydomainname 
  5. Password:  enter your password 
  6. Put a check in the "Save Password" box
  7. Click the Startup Tab
  8. Initial Remote Host: /httpdocs
  9. Click "OK

The Session Properties window will disappear and reveal a split screen. 

The Main Screen

The right screen represents your area on our server.

The left screen represents your computer's hard drive. Navigate to the location on your computer (the left screen) where you have saved your web pages and graphics. To save these directories so you don't have to re-navigate each time, click on the "Options" button, select the "Sessions" tab, Click the "Save Current Directories as Connection Directories". 

Now you are ready to upload: 

Highlight the files in the left screen that you want to send to our computer (server). 

Click on the arrow pointing to the right. That will send all highlighted files to our computer. Wait until the program indicates that transfer is complete. The files are now available and should be viewable on the internet at your web site. If you have named your main page index.html it should be visible when you type your URL in a web browser.  http://www.mydomainname.com

If it does not show up, you probably did something wrong. Recheck the directions above and make sure that you actually uploaded the files. If the page shows but has none of the graphics, then you probably linked to the graphics on your computer or did not upload them at all. A little patience and experimentation will inevitably produce good results. 

When the page does show up.... congratulations.
You now have a site on the World Wide Web.
