FTP of Web Pages - avonil.net

Detailed instructions for using FTP to transfer your pages to the web server. (directions assume that you have Netscape 2.0, Fetch or WS_FTP running)

Fetch

From 'File' menu choose ' open connection '
Enter the following in the dialog box:
- Host: ' homepage.avonil.net '
- User ID: ' youracctname '
- Password: ' yourpassword '
- Directory: ' public_html '
You may save a copy of this configuration by entering it in the 'Edit Shortcuts' of the 'Customize Menu'.

WS_FTP

Within the 'connect to' dialog box, enter:
- Host name: ' homepage.avonil.net '
- User ID: ' youracctname '
- Password: ' yourpassword '
- Other options can be left blank
Once the connection has been established, the left side shows the directories and files on your computer and the right side shows the files on the remote host (avonil.net computer)
Change the directory on the remote host (right side) to ' public_html '
To transfer a file, select a file on the left side and click the ' -> button' in the center to transfer that file to the avonil.net computer

The FTP software should automatically determine the type of transfer (ASCII/text, binary, etc.); occasionally you will need to specify the type of transfer.

text files: transfer as 'TEXT' or 'ASCII' or 'raw data'
graphics files: transfer as 'Binary' or 'raw data'
