• Linux* does not understand filenames which contain spaces

• Linux* does not understand Mac Binary (use "raw data" transfer mode for binary transfers)

• Linux* is case sensitive (http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html will *not* find your file named INDEX.HTML)

• Name your main page index.htm or index.html (this tells browsers to pull up your main page when someone merely looks for http://www.yourdomain.com instead of indicating a document name)

Some popular programs used for uploading your files to your server:

• WS FTP
• Microsoft Web Publishing Wizard
• NetObjects Fusion
• Fetch for Macintosh

After you have uploaded your files, you do not need to get them "activated". They will be recognized immediately.

Configuration To upload your pages, open up your FTP program. We do not recommend using Web Browsers to upload your files (So we can't tell you how to do it... Read the documentation for the browser! :-) When your FTP program is open, you need to fill out the configuration. We'll use the WS_FTP program as an example here:

• Host Name: Your Domain Name or IP Address
  (yourdomain.com or www.yourdomain.com)

• Host Type: Auto detect (if available) or UNIX (standard)
  

• User ID: Your WebTent UserID
  

  This is usually the same as your domain name without the "www." prefix or ".com" suffix. For instance, if your domain is "yourdomain.com", then your user ID is most likely "yourdomain".

• Password: Your Web Hosting Password
  The password is case-sensitive! Type it in exactly as it is printed in the setup letter you received when your account was activated.

• Account: leave it blank (if applicable)

• Initial Directories: optional
  This is for indicating start up directories. For instance, if your web pages are located on your hard drive at "C:\My Web Pages", then you may want to put that string in the Local PC line so that when you are connected, your Local System with pull up these files automatically.

• Anonymous Login: make sure anonymous login is *not* selected

Uploading When you are connected to your site, you should see a list of folders or directories. Upload all of your HTML files within the htdocs directory. Feel free to create sub directories as needed, however, they must created under the htdocs directory for access from a web browser. As a good rule, it is always good to locate your image files into a subdirectory. To do this, double-click on the htdocs directory and select MkDir on the Remote System side. Then type "images" when prompted. Then double-click on the images directory in the Remote System window to change to that directory. Then upload your images to that directory. To insert these images in your HTML documents your merely insert the following code:

<img src="/images/yourimage.gif">
