Below we have outlined the
steps to take when uploading your Website with Macromedia Dreamweavers,
built-in FTP / Publish utility.
Before you start, you will
need to gather three important pieces of information which are located
on your hosting365.ie Welcome Message:
- The FTP IP address of the server that will hold your pages
- Your username
- Your password
If you no longer have these
pieces of information, please let us know so that we may re-send
your Welcome Message. Always include the last four digits of your
credit card for identity verification when requesting confidential
information such as this.
To start:
- Choose the 'Publish' command from the 'File' menu.
- Enter the FTP Address, Username, and Password in the text fields
- complete as below.
- Double click the HTML folder at this level to publish your site
to your domain.
- Once the pages have been uploaded you should check them with
a web browser such as Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer.
Enter the URL in the browser's 'Location' field and check to make
sure that all your images show up, and that all the links work.
If there are problems you should double-check your HTML tags to
make sure that they have the right file references. Please note
that the homepage of your site needs to be called one of the following
file names: index.html, index.htm, index.shtml, index.php3, index.php4
Please note if your homepage
is not labeled one of the names listed above, you will not be
able to see your site. When you have labeled your homepage appropriately,
please make sure that your homepage file is in the root directory.
The homepage file must remain outside of all your folders, so
do NOT keep your homepage located in a folder within your root
directory.
