FileZilla FTP Tutorial: ( How to upload our Web Forms 3.0 to
your website. )
Here is a short lesson for using
the FileZilla FTP program.
It is a free FTP program at
filezilla-project.org.
As with all programs
that one downloads, ours needs to be
"uploaded" to your website.
FileZilla is an FTP program that lets you
upload files to your website.
We highly recommend FileZilla because it is
very easy to learn and use.
Once you have downloaded the free FileZilla
program to your computer,
then below is how to use the "quick connect"
to get started uploading.
The above is just the "quick connect"
instructions. But in the long run, it will
be more convenient if you create a "new site"
in the Site Manager. This way, you won't
need to re-enter your FTP information each
time you connect. Step by step instructions
are below the next image.
1. Click on
File and
then select Site
Manager. 2. Click New Site. 3.Name
your site anything you want. 4. Enter your FTP
URL address. 5. Choose FTP 6. Choose
Normal, and enter your FTP
username
and password. 7. Click Connect.
You should now be ready to upload our
program, and any other files you wish.
To Upload Our Program:
FileZilla is so easy to use. After
downloading our Web Forms package to your
computer, then using FileZilla, you will
just "highlight" the folder forms-bwf, and then drag it over to your website (or select "Upload").
You will also
need to set the permissions.
All you do in FileZilla is "right click" on
a folder or file
and select "attributes". Then enter the
appropriate
permissions number for your server.
(This is all covered
in our instructions.)
