Once you've created your website, you're going to need to upload it to your
web server. The easiest and fastest way of doing this is using FTP.
What's FTP?
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It's a standard for transferring files
quickly and easily between computers, intended to allow computers with
different operating systems to exchange files without users needing to worry
about the different file systems they use. Compared to HTTP, transfers over
FTP are very reliable, meaning that your upload will not just fail without
telling you, and you can pause and resume any upload you start.
To connect to an FTP server, you need three things: the FTP server's address,
a username, and a password. Your web host should have provided these to
you when you opened your account, or you may also be able to create one
yourself using your website's cPanel. Check your host's help for more
information.
Before you can use FTP, you need an FTP program. Luckily, you have quite a
few choices.
Internet Explorer.
What, Internet Explorer? Yes, IE actually has an FTP program built in. Just go
to your host's FTP server using a URL with ftp:// instead of http://, like this:
ftp://ftp.example.com. You will be asked to enter your username and
password, and then you'll be presented with a view of the files and folders
on the FTP server, just like if they were on your own computer! To upload
files, all you need to do is drag them from wherever they are now into this
window.
So what's the problem? Why not just use IE for all your FTP uploading needs?
Well, unfortunately, the answer is that it isn't very reliable as an FTP program:
it works, but it's very slow, and won't automatically try things again if it runs
into errors. It also lacks a good way of telling you how far along your uploads
are or giving you much control over them – fine for uploading one or two
files, but not so great when it comes to uploading a whole website.
