Using WS_FTP Pro to publish Commercial Web Pages

WS_FTP is a popular FTP program for Windows 95/98/NT. These are screen shots from the PRO version of WS_FTP, which you can get from www.ipswitch.com. This is the main screen of the WS_FTP PRO interface: The left pane represents the local hard drive. The right pane represents the remote server. To transfer files, highlight them and click on the appropriate arrow between the two panes. Files can be transfered in ASCII (text) or Binary (images) mode by selecting the radio button below the two panes. The Auto check box doesn't do anything unless you have configured some file types in the Options.
	WS_FTP Sites To setup new sessions (to different FTP servers) you click on the Connect button on the lower left. (This screen also appears when you first run the program.) Here's how to set it up to upload to Seanet's Web servers: Click on the New button.
	New Site/Folder Select FTP Site and fill in the Name.
	Host Name The Host Name or IP Address should be www.domain.com.
	Logon Information Fill in the User ID and Password and check the Save Password box.
	Site Properties After you click Finish, select the new site on the Sites screen and click on the Properties button. On the Startup tab specify a Remote Site Folder. If you want to specify an Initial Local Folder you can do so. If you do not specify an Inital Local Folder you may need to browse to the correct directory on the local machine once the connection is established.
