To upload your files via ftp, you will need some ftp software.
There are a couple of popular ftp clients available for download, you can download trial versions of Globalscapes CUTE FTP here, http://www.cuteftp.com/ and WS FTP PRO here http://www.ipswitch.com/
To publish your pages, you would use your domain name eg. ftp://yourdomainname.com (example) and enter your user name and password supplied to you in your welcome email when you connect to the server.
YOU MUST upload your pages to the public_html directory -
consult your ftp client's instructions for the exact method for that
particular software
You can also upload your pages from within your control panel. Access your control panel and select the public_html directory. Click upload files and select the files to upload from your PC. Click Go and you are done.
What is anonymous ftp and how do I use it?
Account users with plans that include Anonymous FTP can allow
'anonymous' FTP access to persons wishing to download or upload files to and from your web site, as if you were running your own FTP server.
Use with extreme caution, as this will use up bandwidth, and can quickly result in extra costs added if you go over the allowed monthly amount.
You can enable (and disable) Anonymous FTP access within the FTP
Feature inside your Control Panel. We reserve the right to, and will, apply charges to accounts in excess of their monthly data transfer limit. We monitor bandwidth usage and the server will contact you to let you know that you are near your limit - allowing you to upgrade your plan - this is cheaper than paying for extra bandwidth alone; or being assessed fees for re-activating your account if you exceed bandwidth.
If you allow people to download / upload files to your site, keep track of
your disk space usage via your Control Panel. Do not allow your disk space usage to get too close to your maximum disk space allocation or you may experience problems accessing your site via FrontPage and/or be unable to upload or modify files.
Once you enable, ANON FTP in your Control Panel, files can be accessed anonymously using an FTP client.
Anonymous visitors wishing to access your site via FTP client must use
your domain name as the FTP hostname, User-id 'anonymous' and password 'guest'.
Your anonymous ftp site is different from that of your web site.
When people access your domain using anonymous ftp, they will see the following directories:
bin/
dev/
etc/
incoming/
lib/
pub/
"pub" is where you should put all your accessible files. "incoming" is for the anonymous users to upload files to.
For security the following applies:
- The incoming directory is the only directory that can be written to anonymously
- Sub-directories cannot be created
- The incoming directory is not readable by people dropping files there
You are responsible for any "pirated" software uploaded by the anonymous users. The anonymous ftp sites will be periodically monitored for anything that falls outside of our terms and conditions.
You may ignore the other directories.
To access your anonymous FTP site via the www use the following address:
ftp://yourClubWebHost.com/pub/
Your HTML link on your web pages to download a file called something.exe would look like this:
<A HREF="ftp://yourClubWebHost.com/pub/something.exe">Download Now</A>
You should tell your users that they may need to right-click on the link if they are PC users, or if they use a Macintosh, they need to hold down the mouse button on the link, then select the appropriate option from the menu.
