Uploading your site to a Web server

To make your Web site available on the Internet you need to copy the HTML and resource files to a suitable Web server, and this is called uploading the site.

The procedure depends on whether you have a Web server that you access via FTP, a .Mac account, or a Web server that you access simply using file copy.

To upload via FTP

If your Web space is provided by an Internet Service Provider, the most usual way of uploading your files to your Web space is via FTP. To do this you need to know the server name, directory to contain the files, and your log-on user name and password.

The Directory is optional and can be left blank.

Alternatively leave the User name and Password blank, and Freeway will prompt you to enter them each time you upload to the site.

Occasionally an ISP may require you to enter certain FTP commands to access the site, and you can enter these by clicking the Script... button.

To upload your site to a .Mac account

Your site can then be accessed via the address:

http://homepage.mac.com/myname/

where myname is your .Mac member name.

Note that .Mac assumes that the default page of your site is called index.html, so you should make sure that your home page has this file name.
