What
is FTP ?
FTP means file transfer protocol and used to upload and
download files from a web server. You need following to upload
files..
server/hostname: your-domain.com
username: your-username
password: your-password
remote directory: httpdocs
port: 21
Ok, I uploaded my files, but nothing is showing
up when I try to access my site using a browser?
-Double check that you have uploaded your files to
the httpdocs folder
-Check that you have named your default page: index.html,
index.htm, home.html or
home.htm
My FTP
program is some having problems connecting, how can I
troubleshoot this?
- Make sure that you have entered all the proper FTP
information for your site. This was provided in the
account information email that we sent you when your site
become live on our server.
- Do not add a "ftp." before your domain
name.Double check that your FTP program is set to access
port number 21.
- Verify that you currently have a connection to the
internet and that your ISP is not having any problems.
- If you are behind a firewall, make sure that it is not
configured to block access to port 21 on outbound
connections. Also, you could try enabling "passive
mode" on your FTP program since some firewalls require
this when using FTP.
When I upload
my files to the server, why are they corrupted?
Make sure that your FTP application is set to automatically
detect ACSII or binary mode. |
