Accessing
Your Account - FTP Access Notes
- Top

The
first thing you need to do is learn how to access your
account. You will use FTP (file transfer protocol) to
transfer files from your computer to the server, and vice
versa.
If you use FrontPage much of this will not apply to you.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is the preferred method of
uploading files to your website, and vice versa. You have
unlimited access to your account via FTP 24 hours a day,
7 days a week. This allows you to design and maintain
your web pages on your own computer, then upload the files
to your website at your leisure.
NOTE:
If you use FrontPage you should NEVER use regular FTP
to upload your files as this will damage the extensions.
Please refer to the FrontPage
FAQ section.
FTP is not a program, it is a "protocol", a specific method
of transferring data from one place to another. Some online
services such as AOL, CompuServe, and Prodigy may have
a built-in FTP interface. If you have a PPP (Point to
Point Protocol) Internet account, you will need an FTP
program. We strongly recommend WS_FTP for PC users, and
Fetch for Macintosh users . Please see instructions above
for setting up these two programs or any other FTP software.
