Protocol) client and transfer files to the

� NS: www3.ns.sympatico.ca

Follow these easy steps:
-
Download an FTP program.
An FTP program is used to send files across the Internet. When creating your
web site, you will need an FTP program to transfer your files to the personal
web server.
Bell Aliant recommends downloading CuteFTP or WS_FTP for their simplicity of use.
You can download an FTP program from
http://www.tucows.com or
http://www.downloads.com.. (Note: these sites are not affiliated with
Aliant).
-
Setup your FTP program.
Most of the FTP programs have tutorials explaining how to setup and use. We
have included documents to assist you in configuring
CuteFTP - or configuring
WS_FTP.
- Transfer your files.
Using graphical a FTP client (like CuteFTP or WS_FTP) simplifies
file transfers by allowing you to drag and drop file icons between windows.
Usually, the content of your PC is on the left side and your Personal Web
Space is on the right. Simply drag and drop the files from the left window to
the right and the transfer should be automatic.
- Your HTML web pages are case sensitive. The rule of thumb is always use
small (lower case) letters when saving your web pages that are destined for
the Internet.
- You should name the first page that you want your visitors to see
index.htm or index.html
- CGI and FrontPage extensions are not supported on the Personal Web Space
Server.
- Aliant does NOT offer telephone support for this service.
