FTP with WS_FTP (Windows)
Setting up
1. When you start
up for the first time, you will see the below screen. Click
on the "new" button in the upper right to set up your
profile for WebJump.
2. Set your screen up JUST LIKE THE ONE BELOW. Replace our User
ID with your username and our password with your password. You will want
to CUT AND PASTE your username and password from your confirmation
email to make certain that you are using the correct spelling and naming
convention. Check "Save Pwd" only if you would like your password
saved in the application for future sessions.
3. When you are
ready to connect, click "OK". (make sure you are connected
to the internet).
4. The software will now connect to our server. If you didn't enter your
password in the session properties and check "save password",
you will be prompted for your password now. If you watch the log panel at
the bottom, it will show you connecting and then display your site in the
right pane.
The left pane of this interface contains the documents
you would like to upload to our servers. The right side of the
interface displays the remote host where you will be uploading
your files. When you give your username and password, the server
automatically takes you to the correct directory to begin uploading
your files.
If you look at the above sample, you can see that we have set our default directory
for uploads to be C:\my_www. You can change this by clicking
on the "ChgDir" button in the left pane and typing in the path
to the directory you would like to use.
Our sample site has a cgi-bin and a default.htm file listed in the default (root)
directory. Those are put there automatically by the server when you sign up. You will want
to delete the default.htm page and replace it with your home page and name that
default.htm.
