File Transfer Protocol [Local] <---> [Remote]
When you are ready to Publish, that is, upload files to your web site, you will need some information from your host.FTP/SFTP = File Transfer Protocol or Secure File Transfer Protocol is a faster and better way to transfer the files from your computer to your web sites server!
Basic Information you need from your Web Site Host to FTP
1. Your FTP Address...
For Comcast and Quest it looks different than a regular ftp address.
eg)
Comcast users it's:
upload.comcast.net
qwest users it's:
ftp.users.qwest.net
or ftp.users.q.net
But for other hosts it'll look like this
ftp.angelfire.com
or it may include your domain name...
ftp.apple.com
Your provider/host may give you a set of numbers like 111.222.123.001
(These numbers are what the servers sees, when you use your
alpha-numeric
URL)
111.222.123.001 You'll note that in
this case there is no
"ftp"
associated with the numbers
2. User Name or User ID
Usually the name you use for your e-mail like garrystasiuk
(from
garrystasiuk@comcast.net)3. Password
Usually the same password you need to retreive your e-mail or to log onto your Host's web site to get your e-mail online.4. Port number
Normally it is set to or defaults to "21" so if your provider doesn't give you a port number it's automatically "21"
for sftp (secure FTP) the default port number is "22"
5. Name your site
You can call it what ever you want as this name will be for your identification when using an ftp program
