How to upload your
page to the web server
DOWNLOADING WS/FTP
WS/FTP is a program that will allow you
to transfer files back and forth from your computer to
the web server. You can download it by CLICKING
HERE. Make sure you save it as a file and remember
where you put it. Since the file is a 'zip' file, you
will need to 'unzip' it in order to install it. You will
need to download Winzip if you don't already have it on
your computer. You can download the file from
http://www.winzip.com.
Once you have unzipped the file, you should have a file
called "install.exe" in the same directory
where you saved the zip file. Click start,
then Run, then browse to the location
of the "install.exe" file. Follow the
instructions to install WS/FTP.
CONFIGURING WS/FTP
Open your FTP program. A window entitled "Session
Profile" should open. Type the following in the
Session Profile window:
-
 Profile
Name: Type "xfone.com Web Server" in the blank
- Host Name: Type "exit3.i-55.com"
in the blank. * Note -
Commercial customers will need to use exit2.i-55.com
as the Host Name
- Host Type: leave it as "Automatic
detect."
- User ID: This needs to be the login
name for the web server. (If you do not have a login
for the web server, please fill out the REQUEST FORM
or call our office. This login is not the same login
that you use to log onto the Internet.)
- Password: Use the password for
your web server login account.
- Account: leave blank.
- Make sure to Check the Save Password
and Auto Save Config boxes, then click OK.
USING WS/FTP
On the left hand side of the WS-FTP window, you'll see
files on your own computer, and in the right hand side
window, you'll see files on the web server. Towards the
middle bottom of the FTP window, you'll see 3 boxes that
say "ASCII," "Binary," and "Auto." Web
pages (.html or .htm) and cgi programs (.cgi, .pl) should
have the "Ascii" box clicked before you transfer files.
Other kinds of files should have the "Binary" box clicked
before you send them.
To send a file, just click on the filename in the left
hand window, then click on the arrow that points to the
right. Congratulations and Happy FTPing :)
