Web Wizard
WEB Wizard interviews you about what you would like on your homepage. It
isn't very fancy nor can it create too many variations -- but it wasn't designed to. Its
purpose is to ask you a few quick questions and then produce a file containing HTML -- the
language of WEB pages. After you've created this file you can upload it (transfer) to your
WEB server system where it will be available for anyone on the planet to view -- provided
you tell them about it. |

FTP
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used for
transferring files (HTML pages, graphics, etc.) to/from your server. We suggest using
programs specifically designed for FTP'ing (transferring) your files. Listed below are
some suggestions for FTP programs to use. Please note that our tech support is versed in
using WS_FTP and will not have information on how to configure or use other FTP programs.For Windows(tm), we suggest the following ftp
program: WS_FTP from Ipswitch Inc. You can get a shareware (evaluation) copy (670KB)
of WS_FTP from:
ftp://ftp1.ipswitch.com/pub/win32/ws_ftple.exe

Logging in with FTP
Based on the assumption you are FTP'ing with WS_FTP (as
recommended above)the following section will give you a basic run-down on how to configure
and use WS_FTP for transfering files.
- You will need your initial form you filled out from PC DocsNET entitled
"INTERNET CONTRACT". Locate the part of the form with
your "DIALUP", "USERNAME" and "PASSWORD" information.
- You will need to start up WS_FTP.
- You should first be prompted with a "Session" dialog
box.
- You will start configuring WS_FTP in the following areas:
 | Profile Name: This is any name you wish to
identify your ftp information with. |
| Host Name: pcdocs.net |
| Host Type: Automatic Detect
|
| User ID: Your PC DocsNET username (The same you
use to connect with) |
| Password: Password (BE SURE to put a check in the Save Password box)
|
| The remaining entries should remain empty.
|
|
Your
WS_FTP screen should look something like what is displayed below. |
|
 |
|
Click
the "OK" button and WS_FTP should start logging you into your FTP site. If there
are any login error messages in the message box in the lower part of the WS_FTP screen,
please check your Host name, Login, and Password (the password is CASE sensitive, meaning
'YOURPASSWORD' is different from 'yourpassword',.
Once you have correctly ftp'd to your server. You will see
the directories on your PC in the left window and your server directories in the right
hand window similiar to the screen below. |
|
 |
|
- Double click the "public_html" directory.
- This is where you will ftp your files.
(Note: When setting up your HTML files, BE SURE to name your
homepage (your main page) - "index.html"
Files are case sensitive. If you document says
MYFILE.HTM then your file must be saved as MYFILE.HTM not myfile.htm.
Any subdirectories you would like to create that are needed
for your webpage may be created in the "public_html" directory.
| The 'MkDir' button creates a directory.
|
| The 'RmDir' button removes a directory.
