Configuring Your FTP:

The following setup information is for WS FTP Pro, but note that most FTP programs are similar. 

To upload your pages and files to your website using FTP, you will need the following information:

FTP HOSTNAME = mywebserver.itspeed.net

Your userid
Your password

The FTP HOSTNAME is the location where your FTP program will connect to. The following setup information is for WS FTP Pro, but note that most FTP programs are similar.

1. When you run WS FTP Pro, you will need to setup a new site/folder. Click the New button.

2. The program will ask you to enter a name for the site. You may enter in any name you wish, such as My Web Site, etc. This serves as a way to identify the site.

3. Then enter in the FTP Hostname, or IP address which is mywebserver.itspeed.net (66.203.130.40)

4. Click Next.

5. Next, enter in your ITSpeed email address (userid@itspeed.net)

6. Then enter your password. It is usually good to check the box that says “Save Password”

7. Click Finish

8. A new site folder will be created.

9. Click OK

When you connect to the web server, you will be connected directly to the root directory of your account. WS FTP Pro will display a split screen where files on the left-hand side are those located within your own computer. Files on the right-hand side are those, which are stored in your account. You can transfer files directly to the root level and/or create subdirectories.

To make your Home Page load automatically, you will need to name your main start page html file, "index.html" in lowercase and upload it to the root directory of your account.

To upload a file, simply highlight the file(s) on the left and click the right-arrow button ("-->") located in the center of the screen. For more functions and help with WS FTP Pro please see their help file. As soon as you upload files to the web server, it is available for all to see.

10. Once connected to your root directory, find your index.html file (note: homepage must be labeled index.html)

11. Click on the transfer button (-->)

12. After all the files you want are uploaded to your directory, you can click Close.

13. To access your webpage, type in the url that you registered.
