Uploading Files

O.K. You received your Welcome Letter from Computer Creations with your IP address, username and password, and you're ready to start uploading files. What should you use? What's your next step?

An excellent option for uploading files to your Web space is to use a good FTP ("file transfer protocol") program.

When using any type of FTP program, you will need just three things:

  1. Your host name, i.e., your IP address or domain name
  2. Your username
  3. Your password

No matter what FTP program you may be using, to connect to your account, you need all three. All three are sent by Computer Creations in your welcoming email.

This is what the initial WS_FTP log-in screen looks like:

Note to Microsoft FrontPage Users
Customers with  FrontPage extensions installed on their site should use only the FrontPage publishing feature to transfer files. Using regular FTP can corrupt the extensions, disabling the functionality of the FrontPage web and requiring that the site be deleted to reinstall the extensions.
