Uploading your website using WS_FTP

WS-FTP Site List
Before uploading your website to its new home, you'll first need to obtain and install an FTP client. WS_FTP is a commonly used FTP client which can be downloaded from the Ipswitch website.

Once you've installed WS_FTP on your machine, you'll need to open it. Double-click on the WS_FTP Pro icon on your desktop or click on the Start button, scroll up to Programs, then to the WS_FTP Pro program folder, and then click on WS_FTP Pro.

After WS_FTP loads, you should see a screen similiar to this one. If you don't, click on File in the menu bar at the top of the WS_FTP window, and then click Connect.

Now we'll create a site entry for the InnerSpace Online FTP server where you'll be uploading your pages. Click on the Create Site... button.
WS-FTP Profile Window
You've now entered the WS_FTP Profile Wizard which will walk you through setting up an FTP profile that will allow you to access your webspace. On the first screen, you'll need to enter two pieces of information:

Name: InnerSpace Online
Create In: Leave this blank, or select the folder you wish to put this site in.
WS-FTP Profile Window
The next screen asks for the address of the server which you'll be uploading your pages to. Type in the following information:

FTP Host Address: ftp.ispaceonline.com
WS-FTP Profile Window
The final screen asks for your username and password. The Save Password box can be selected if you don't wish to be asked for your password each time you connect to our servers. Enter the following information:

Username: your username (same as e-mail username)
Password: your password (same as e-mail password)
Account: leave blank
WS-FTP Connected Window
You'll notice that a new entry has been added. Now press the Connect button to connect to your webspace. If you filled everything in correctly during the previous step, you should now be looking at a screen like this one.

You'll notice that the WS_FTP program window has two main panes in the middle of the screen. The one on the left side displays a listing of the files on your computer. The files in the right side are located in your webspace on our servers. In order for your website to be viewed by people on the internet you must always upload your files into the public_html directory. To do this, first double-click on the public_html directory. This will allow you to upload files into the public_html directory.

To upload a file, simply select the file you wish to upload and then click on the green arrow facing toward the right. Multiple files can be uploaded at once by holding down the Ctrl key and individually clicking each file that you want to upload. Then, click on the green arrow facing toward the right.
