Question

Ok so I've designed a website for someone using dreamweaver and she has an domain on host Ireland, now how exactly would I go about getting the website from my computer to the internet, as I have never done it before?

Answer 3

Firstly you will want to create an FTP account, probably in your control panel somewhere it will say 'FTP Accounts'. Enter a username and a password.

Next you'll need some FTP software, probably something like FileZilla (Google it).. and then when you've downloaded that you can connect.

Open FileZilla once it's been installed:

Address = your domain name

User + Pass = the one you chose before

Now, click 'connect'. When you've connected if you're confronted with a list of files, you'll want to click on 'www' and then drag & drop the files into there. If you're not, then just drag and drop them.

The files should now be accessible!

Answer 4

you can use dreamweaver to ftp the files.

on the right hand of the screen you will have a tab called files. on the drop down list select manage sites. enter the info here. you will need the ftp account details for the site. /public_html/ is normally the directory on the server that you will be using

most of the info will be loaded for you during the wizzard set up

make sure that the home page is called index.html or htm so that the server knows which page is the home page

alternatively you can use an ftp program if you prefer. I like ace ftp, its free.

in general most servers run a linux variant, for this reason your site should be in lower case and only use _ or - and letters and numbers.

why not edit your question when done and include a hyper link?

good luck.

ps there are lots of great free cms (content management systems) out there that are effectively database driven sites that will save you a lot of time when building sites. just choose a template that you like.

eg

http://www.theblackbullpub.co.uk took a couple of hours and is based on joomla. With these most of the work is done through the admin web interface.

Answer 5

you have to upload it to her domain host

go to their website and read their instructions.

uploading the files is easy once you know how

Answer 6

You will need a program called an ftp client along with the ftp host name (the computer where the site will reside), your friend's user name and password (so you can access their server space to upload the files).

THere are many free ftp clients like:

Filezilla - http://filezilla-project.org/

Coreftp - http://www.coreftp.com/

Go ftp - http://www.goftp.com/

You can also use the <i>Site> Manage Site</i> command in Drreamweaver to upload the pages. http://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver...

Neither of these suggestions require you to change the pages at all.  Either using an ftp client or using the Publish function within Dreamweaver will allow you to move the html files as created in Dreamweaver directly to the web host.
