Initial Set-Up

In order to upload web pages using Ws_ftp for the first time, you must enter the settings shown below.

1. In the Profile Name field, enter WS-FTP. This will allow you to pull up your site without typing in the directory.
2. In the Host Name/Address field, enter www.jvlnet.com
3. In the Automatic detect field, select Host Type, if not already selected.
4. In the User ID field, enter your JVLNET username in lowercase letters.
   Note: Your username is the first portion of your e-mail address before the @ symbol.
5. The Anonymous checkbox should be left unchecked.
6. In the Password field, enter in lowercase letters the password you selected when you requested your FTP space. If you would like for Windows to remember your password, check the Save Pwd checkbox.
7. The Account field should be left blank
8. The Comment field should be left blank.
9. Choose OK at the bottom of the window.

Note: You will not need to re-enter the above information each time you use Ws_ftp. The information will appear automatically after the initial set-up. All you will need to do is select OK after starting the program for subsequent use.

Uploading
After you click OK under the General tab (as explained above), WS_ftp will connect to JVLNET's server and display your directory on our server. The screen which will appear (shown below) is divided into two columns. The left column, Local System, displays the files on your PC. The right column, Remote System, displays your directory on our server.

Under Local System, do the following:

1. Click ChgDir.
2. In the top scroll box, choose the directory from which you want to upload files. The files in the directory you choose will appear as a list in the lower scroll box.
3. In the lower scroll box, highlight the file(s) you want to upload, and click -->.

Once the transfer is complete, you will see a confirmation message in the bottom of the window, and your file will now be listed in the right hand side of the window, showing that it is now on our server.

Viewing Uploaded Files on the Web
Any files that you upload will be viewable in a Web browser by entering the following address:

http://www.jvlnet.com/~username/the file's name

Example
your username = "bob" the file's name = "fred.htm" Enter: http://www.jvlnet.com/~bob/fred.htm

Making Your Homepage
When you create your Web site, be sure to name your homepage index.html. This will make your homepage address:

http://www.jvlnet.com/~your username

Example
your username = "bob" Your homepage address: http://www.jvlnet.com/~bob

If you don't name your homepage index.html, typing in your Web address will not automatically bring up your homepage.
