5. To PUT your files on
our server from your computer (upload), highlight the files you want to
upload on the left-hand side (local system, your
computer).
You may choose more than
one file at a time by holding down the control key when you click on
the file name. If you don't see the files you want to upload on the
left, double click on the ".." directory at the top of the list.
This should bring you to your c:\ drive.
When you find and
highlight the files you want to upload, click on the arrow in the middle
of the screen pointing to the right. (remote system, our
server). This will send your files up to our server. As
soon as the transfer takes place, your files will be visible at your
website.
If you don't see them
right away, clear your cache in your browser. Make sure the page
you want to come up first is named index.htm or index.html, in all
lowercase letters. This is a Linux server, therefore it is case
sensitive, make sure all your file names match the references exactly
in your html code.
Always make sure you
upload all of your files including any images you want on your
pages.
6. To GET your files to
your computer (download), click on the files you want to download on the
right-hand side (remote system, our server) and then click the arrow
pointing to the left-hand side (local system, your computer).
This will make a copy of
the files on our server on your hard drive. Make sure you
remember where you put the files. You might want to make a
folder on your computer called "website" and download your files into
there.
7. To create a
directory (folder); click on the make directory icon on the tool bar
(upper right) of the side you want the directory on. ie:
right side (server side) or left side (your
computer)
If you want to create a
"website" folder to download your site into on your "C" drive (hard
drive), you should click on the ".." directory at the top of the local
system list until the title at the top says C:\ Then click on
"MkDir" (make directory). When it asks for the new local
directory name, type in "website" or whatever you want to call
it. When you put your files in this folder they will be found in
your C drive in the website folder. If you keep all your files
together you will always be able to find them.
8. To delete a file
(careful); highlight the files you want to delete. Click on the
"Delete" icon on the tool bar (upper right) of the side you want to
delete from.
You can delete files off
of our server (right side) or off of your hard drive (left
side). Don't delete anything you don't think you uploaded.
We might have put it there for a
reason.
