How to download and install the FTP program (do this once):
  1. You must have WinZip or another similar program on your system to proceed. 
    (If you do not have Winzip, please send a note to tech support for assistance).
  2. Click on the download link for the FTP program.
  3. Choose the option to open or run the file from its current location.
  4. Use your WinZip program to extract all the files to c:\wsftp (click help in Winzip for more info).
  5. Exit Winzip.
  6. Right click your desktop and click New, then Shortcut.
  7. For a command line, type:
    c:\wsftp\ws_ftp32.exe
  8. Click next, then click Finish. You now have an icon for the FTP program on your desktop.
How to prepare the FTP program to update your website (do this once):
  1. Double-click the FTP icon on your desktop.
  2. For Profile name, type the name of your website (e.g. WIDGETS INC)
  3. For the host name, type:
    hosting.dynamis.net
  4. For the username, type your username (e.g. widgets.com).
  5. For the password, type your password (e.g. secret42n8ly).
  6. Click the Save Password option on the right.
  7. Beside Local PC, type the path where your website files are stored. If you used Microsoft Word to create your website, the files are probably stored at:
    C:\My Documents
     (for Windows 95 and Windows 98 users)
    or
    C:\Documents and Settings\logon_name\My Documents
         (for Windows 2000 and Windows XP users, where logon_name is the name you use when logging on to your PC).
    If you are not sure where you website files are stored, type this instead:
    C:\
  8. Now click the Save button right above where you typed the host name. You have just created and saved an FTP profile which you will use to quickly connect to the webserver any time you want to update your website.
How to use the FTP program to update your website (any time):
  1. Double-click the FTP icon on your desktop.
  2. If the correct profile name is shown (the name of your company or website, e.g. WIDGETS INC), click OK, otherwise select the correct profile name and then click OK.
  3. If your web files are already listed on the left hand side, skip to step 5.
  4. Double-click the folder where your website files are stored on your hard drive. If they are stored in a folder within a folder, click the parent folder first, then the folder they are stored in. The procedure for finding your files is similar to using My Computer or Windows Explorer. If you do not know where your files are stored on your drive, refer to the help menu or tech support for your web design software. Or, enter your web design program, open your website files, and note where they are being stored when you open them.
    Hint: you might find your files by doing this: double-click Documents and Settings, then double-click your logon name, and then double-click My Documents.
  5. The files on the left are on your computer. The files to the right are on the server.
  6. The main file of your website should be named default.htm. Rename it now if it is named something different such as index.htm or main.htm.
  7. To upload a file to the server, click the file on the left-side list, then click the arrow pointing to the right (between the left side file list and the right side file list).
  8. To upload a group of files to the server, highlight the group of files and then click the arrow pointing to the right.
  9. When you are down uploading files to the server, click the Exit button at the bottom right.
