Web Space: Upload Guide For Netscape Communicator
Netscape, the popular web browser also contains a very basic FTP client that can be used to upload files to your web space account. Here is a very simple guide to uploading files to your Freeola web space.
Before you start, please ensure you are connected to the Internet via your Freeola Connection. FTP and file uploads are only possible when you are connected to the Internet via Freeola. If you attempt to connect via another service provider you will receive an error message.
If you do need to upload using another provider's internet connection then you can sign up for our package called "Web Freedom" from your MyFreeola account.
1. Run the Netscape program.
2. In the 'location' area of the toolbar at the top of the Netscape window you need to type in a complete FTP server path which includes your Freeola User Name and Freeola Password.
The diagram below demonstrates this further. This example assumes you have the e-mail address 'bob@spursfans.com' which translates to the web address 'www.bob.spursfans.com'.
This example would be relevant if you host your own Domain Name at Freeola called 'tomhoy.com'.
3. Your location bar should now be similar to one of the above examples shown. Press the 'Enter' button on your keyboard to continue.
4. Click the 'htdocs' directory - this is the directory that should contain all your web files. This subject is explained further in the Basic Guide to FTP & Web Space.
5. Open the folder on your computer that contains your web site pages and drag the files from this window into the browser
window. For security purposes Netscape may ask you again to confirm your password. Remember, this is your Freeola Password.
6. To download a file to your machine from the server, right click (PC) or hold your mouse button down
(Macintosh) on the file and then select 'Save Link As...' then choose where
you would like to save the file.
