Fetch Tutorial

The following information is contained within your account activation notice and is needed to connect to your web site via

FTP: 

USERID

PASSWORD

FTP HOSTNAME

Don't worry about the Directory option right now.

When you have your Host, User ID, and Password entered, click on the OK button.

The next window, which will pop up, will look virtually the same as below, except that yourdomain will be in the pop-up window.

How to Transfer Files

Refer again to the sample window above. You need to double-click on www to get to your web directory. 

This is where all your files will be downloaded, and/or you will create sub-directories.

To make your home page load automatically, name the HTML

document "index.htm" in lowercase and upload it to the public_html directory of your account. 

To upload a file or files, simply drag them from your hard drive onto the Fetch window when you are in the appropriate directory or subdirectory. 

Be sure to upload HTML documents and scripts in Text mode and images in BINARY mode. 

To transfer a file to a subdirectory, double-click the appropriate subdirectory to open it before transferring the desired file(s).

As soon as a file is uploaded to the web server, it is available for all to see. 

If, after uploading a file, you are still unable to see the updated file via Netscape, you need to hit the Reload button in the Netscape button bar. 

Remember that you must first be connected to the Internet

through your local Internet Service Provider in order to connect to the web server.
