Using FTP to transfer files to your site

Once you have created any files you wish to be on your site, you are going to need to move them from your local computer onto your virtual server. If you are using CompuServe, AOL Netcom or a similar Internet access service you may have an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) interface built into your service. If you do not, we recommend the following FTP software available on the Internet (use your favorite search engine to find the nearest download site):

Windows 3.1 WS_FTP 16
Windows 9x/2000/XP WS_FTP 32
MAC Fetch

Configuring Your FTP Software

You will need the following information to log your FTP software into your new site: User ID, Password, FTP Host Name. IHPS can provide this information to you by e-mail when we set up your new site. If you misplace or lose the information, please call, or e-mail requesting the information again.

When you upload your files, here are a few important things to consider:

  • You will need to give your first (home) document a default name, like index.html.
  • If you host on a virtual server that is running the UNIX operating system, which is case sensitive, you should consistently make all your file names and extensions lower case characters.
  • When you configure your FTP software choose Automatic Detect for Host Type.

When you connect to your site you will be in your "root," or top level directory of your domain. At this point you could use your FTP software to create directories to store your files in. You may wish to create additional subdirectories to separate files and images.

If you have requested a hosting account option that includes CGI script capability, and you are going to create and/or use CGI scripts, they need to be uploaded into the subdirectory named cgi-bin. All references to CGI scripts should be made as follows: yourdomaincgi/your_script_name. The cgi-bin subdirectory is aliased for URL reference purposes. For example, if your domain name is greatstuff.com, you would make all references to scripts in your web pages and other scripts as greatstuffcgi/your_script_name. Replace your_script_name with your actual CGI script name.
