FTP Basics - Part Two

File Transfer Protocol, better known as FTP, is a procedure
used to upload and download files to and from your web
server.

In order to use FTP, you'll need to download and install a
software program on your computer. The most widely used
FTP program is WS FTP Pro. You can find it here:
http://www.wsftp.com

When you first launch the FTP program, a startup screen
will appear. This screen will enable you to add your website
information and allow the program to connect with your
server. You simply fill in the information where indicated
with the following information:

Profile Name - This name will be added to the selection list
of profile names. Select your profile name according to
your domain. For example, if your domain name were
smiths.com, your profile name might be Smiths.

Host Name/Address - Your domain name address.
Example - www.smiths.com

Host Type - The type of server in which your website is
hosted. The standard is Unix.

User ID - Your hosting User ID. Example - smiths.

Password - Your hosting password.

Depending on which FTP client you use, the names may
be slightly different.
