How do I upload files for my website?

Answer:

If you have noticed, all website links you open up on the web start with 'http://' - this means it is using something called HTTP to download files.

To upload files to your webhost, you have to use something like FTP. So just like you can use Internet Explorer or FireFox to view the web, you need a program that will let you use FTP. Two popular FTP programs are SmartFTP and cute FTP.

Your webhost will give you the necessary details to use FTP - which includes a hostname (normally ftp.yourdomain.com), a username, and a password. You then use the FTP program to connect to your web host and upload your files
