File Transfer Protocol - FTP
the process of uploading files to the serverSome
ISP's such as AOL & CompuServe offer an FTP interface.
If your ISP does not offer an interface, you will need to get an
FTP program.

recommends
WS_FTP Pro
It is the easiest way to upload
your web pages and graphics!!!...except
if you are using Front Page.
If you are using FrontPage: to publish files, you must use
"publish" in Front Page Explorer.
NEVER use regular FTP to publish your FrontPage webs because it
will damage the Front Page extensions.

front Page extensions on your web site

First..email us to add front page extensions to your site.
We suggest that you
try uploading one file named
index.html
1. Make a web page,
one page called
index.html
2. When I go to
publish my page and it asks me to please specify location to
which you want to publish your FrontPage web. I enter:
http://MyWebHost.com
(The above URL is only an example-
be sure to replace your domain name with when you publish the site)

it loads the pages..
don't necessarily believe a word it says.
It may or may not have loaded
7. I check
useyourdomainname.com on my web browser (internet explorer) and I see a
directory listing.
That means that you either didn't publish anything or you published it to
the wrong place or you didn't name your home page index.htm
It is also possible that If you still don't see the pages that you uploaded,
You may need to refresh your browser, dump the cache and dump the
Internet temp files in your computer and maybe even restart your computer.
