help with uploading website

Discussion in 'HTML & Website Design' started by rapwaydown, Jun 19, 2007.

    i use a Ewisoft Website Builder to build my web site,
    but i wonder does web hosting company allow you to upload a whole web site instead of pages, files.
    i need to know this, because if this is not doable, then i will move to a html aditor.
    does any one use web site builder, not the one come with the web hosting plan.
    thank, your reply are big help to me.

    rapwaydown I am not sure people understand your question maybe this is why noone has replied yet

    A Whole Website consists of pages images files folders and more

    the easiest way to upload whole websites is to use an FTP client (file transfer protocal)

    I do not know which host you are using but if it is a paid host then most likly they will allow you to use ftp i use ws-ftp but if you do a google search you will find alot of free ftp clients to use

    your ftp password is generally the same as your host sign in and passwords

    just went to the ewisoft website this is what they say:
    Integrated FTP functionality that detects modified pages automatically while publishing to the Internet.
    Compatible with all web hosting providers and does not require FrontPage Extensions

    so it already has a built in ftp program for you i would suggest reading the manuel that came with it (normally in a pdf format) to learn how to upload your site quickly

    True, you need an FTP client software to connect to your host and domain.
    Then you can upload the entire site.

    Honestly if you do not know how to upload your website you should put the files of your website into a zip file and if the file isn't to large after zipping you can email it to your web host. Most web hosts are willing to help you out. If not, PM me, i'd love to gain you as a web hosting customer in trade for helping you get your website up and running. :)

    FileZilla is the best FTP client I've found: easy to use and FAST!
