Publish your content

Once you've finished your page/site, you'll need to upload it to your web server. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) allows a person to transfer files between two computers, generally connected via the Internet. You can either FTP your files via the command line (i.e. DOS), or you can find yourself an FTP client which executes all the commands in a drag-and-drop interface. We would highly recommend the latter to beginners and experts alike. FTP clients make the publishing process simple.

FTP Basics
 To FTP, you will need to know the host location (all this information was emailed to you during setup), as well as your username and password. All your web site contents is stored in \Inetpub\ftproot. There are four virtual ftp directories already created:

• wwwroot which points to \Inetpub\wwwroot, it contains your published content for the web site.
• home which points to \home, your home directory.
• log which points to \LogFiles, it contains web/ftp raw log files.
• anonymous which can be accessed by anonymous ftp users. If you have anonymous FTP enabled, you can put content here for anonymous users to download from.
