Upload your web pages with WS_FTP

NOTE: The following instructions are for publishing to personal web sites. For publishing to commercial domain name sites refer to Setting up your domain on Access Orlando in our Customer Support section.

These instructions are based on WS_FTP LE 4.60 for Windows 95/98 but should apply to other recent releases and versions for Windows 3.x as well.

To access your web site use the location:
http://www.ao.net/~username

Start WS_FTP
In the Session Properties window, click the New button
Next to Profile Name enter My Homepage
Next to Host Name/Address enter ftp.ao.net
Host Type should be set to Automatic detect
Next to User ID enter your username
Next to Password enter your password
Leave Account blank
Leave Comment blank
Anonymous should be unchecked
Save Pwd should be checked - if you don't want to have to enter it every time you update your homepage files
Click the Startup tab
Next to Initial Local Directory enter the location of your web page files on your computer. For Example: c:\webfiles
Leave all other settings as-is, click Apply, click OK

After clicking OK, your computer will "connect" with ao.net You will see a list on the left side of the window which will be your web page files on your computer, and on the right side will be a list of files on ao.net. Double-Click on the directory public_html and place your web files in this directory.

For help on transferring files with WS_FTP, click the Help button.

When you're done uploading your files, click the Close button, then the Exit button. Your updated homepage will be immediately viewable. If still looks like it did before the update, click your browser's Refresh/Reload button.

Now that you have your "My Homepage" profile set up, from now on you just have to start WS_FTP, select "My Homepage" from the Session Properties list, and click OK.
