Ok My puter techies, I neeed help... Badly I am sooo confused...could be serious lack of sleep that I am not understanding something that seems so simple...
I am ready to upload to my site..via ftp.. * I was used to Tripod where they made it easy* Here's where Iam having a problem...
What folder do I actually upload to? I just have the index page ready for now. I have a root folder..what is that for? Then there is the www. folder. I think this is where I upload the stuff I have ready to. There is already an index page..do I just replace it with what I have now * since this will be my opening page*..Do I create a sub folder??
Now the FTP question...
Here are the instructions for Coffee Cup from myhosting site...
In the dialog box you will need to fill in the input fields:
Your Name : Just put in your name
Hostname/Address : ftp.yourserver.com
Choose the option that requires Username/Password
Input your username
Input your password
Local Starting Directory: cprogramfilescoffeecup ( or where ever you have saved your files and images too )
Remote Starting Directory : yourdomain-www ( ie.. billybob-www ) note the domainname without the extention but with the -www 'domain-www'
Once logged in you will be shown a listing of your Hard Drive on the left side and the server directory on the right side. You can start by highlighting a file on the left side and then clicking on the UPLOAD button. You can also Drag and Drop files to and from your server
But here are the instructions from CC themselves...
Nickname: * I got that part*
User name:* Got that*
Password * yup*
Webserver addy: I guess which would be www.sealyskindredspirits.com So I think I've got that right...
Remote Directories: eg: /pub/web/yourname/images
K the difference in the instructions confuses me...
I am almost lost from the beginning so I need basic simple instructions .. please????
Thanks soooo much in advance.. I worked all night on the graphics, now I'm ready to get them up!!!!
