File Transfer Protocol - FTP
the process of uploading files to the server | Your Home Directory: either
"yourdomain-www" or "www" LOAD ALL FILES INTO THIS DIRECTORY Different software loads files differently. We suggest that you try uploading one file named index.html. When you type in your domain name.com and you see this new index.html page, then you will know that you have loaded the files in the right directory. First try to ftp or http to your domain.com If that doesn't work, try the following path: / or /home/username/domain-www |
| Your Home Page:
"index.html" Whatever you load as index.html will be the page that anyone who types in the following addresses will go to: yourdomain.com yourdomain.com/index.html http://www.yourdomain.com |

CompuServe offer an FTP interface. If your ISP does not offer an interface, you will need to get an FTP program.

Here is some specific Front Page info
First..go to your control panel and add front page extensions to your site.
http://yourdomain.com/menu
We suggest that you try
uploading one file named
index.html
1. Make a web page, one page
called
index.html
2. When I go to publish my
page and it asks me to please specify location to
which you want to publish your FrontPage web. I enter:
http://mydomain.com
or
http://myIPaddress
3. It asks for FTP server
name.
use
yourdomain.com
or
yourIPaddress
4. It asks for Directory path.
use nothing
If that doesn't work, try the following path:
/
or
/home/username/domain-www
5. It asks for my name
use your user name
password
your password
6. Front Page says it loads
the pages..
don't necessarily believe a word it says.
It may or may not have loaded
7. I check mydomain.com on my
web browser (internet explorer) and it says
that my page is under construction.
That means that you either didn't publish anything or you published it to
the wrong place or you didn't name your home page index.html
Please verify that all of this
is correct.
If you still don't see the pages that you uploaded,
You probably need to refresh your browser, dump the cache and dump the
Internet temp files in your computer and maybe even restart your computer.
If you still don't see the
pages that you uploaded,e-mail us and we will
gladly look at your site
Have Fun
