FTP Uploading (web pages)
FTP
(File Transfer Protocol) is the simplest way to exchange
files over the Internet. There are many different types of FTP packages
available.
Which ever package/method you use you will always
require your own username and password to access the
servers to upload
the files to your web
space.
Using Microsoft Internet Explorer to upload files
To transfer files from your desktop to the server
using Internet Explorer (version 5.0+):
- Make sure you have the following setting enabled in Internet Explorer:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced -> Enable folder view
for FTP Sites
- Open Internet Explorer.
- In the Address bar of Internet Explorer type
ftp://www.<yourdomain> and
press [Enter]. Replace <yourdomain> with
your own domain name.

as if it were a directory on your local hard disk.

uploading the files can take a while.

Microsoft security fixes for your Internet Explorer Browser using the
