WS_FTP Configuration
After opening your FTP software you will see the screen below. Click on the "NEW" button.
This will give you a blank screen to setup and use as your connection to your site.
1. Fill in the blanks as follows:
- Profile Name - Whatever you want to name your site.
- Host Name - Enter your domain name ftp.ArisHost.com or ftp.yourdomain.com
- Host Type - From the list choose "Automatic Detect"
- User ID - Enter your web site username, this is your domain name.
- Password - Enter your web site password
- OTHER - Under the Options/Session Options make sure "Use PASV transfer
mode" is checked.
2. Now click the "Save" button. When you open FTP in the future and choose your
profile name you will not have to enter any information, just click "OK".
The following screen will look like this. It should have your domain name in the title bar
of the program. Everything in the left window (local system) is on your computer, everything in the
right window (remote system) is on our server.
You will place all of your web pages and associated files inside the htdocs directory
on the remote system.
3. To enter this directory, just double click on the directory named htdocs.
Once you double click on htdocs, you can start uploading your files already.
You will place all your files inside the htdocs directory. In case you want a subdirectory,
create it also inside the htdocs directory. You can create subdirectories by clicking on MkDir
on the right hand side and name the directory.
The only requirement on your website is for the first page to be named index.html. Upon creating this,
the browser will automatically load the said html file without having to type index.html.
Note: our servers are Unix based and all names are case sensitive.
4. To transfer files: highlight the file on your local system and click the arrow button to
transfer the file over to the remote system. This is transferring files from your computer to
our servers. Once the file is uploaded on the remote system, it is already live on the server. This means
that you can already view the uploaded pages on your browser.
You are complete at this point.
