Steps for uploading your files using WS_FTP

1. Start the FTP program. The program will start with a "Session Properties" box overlaying the actual transfer screen.

2. Click "New" to start a new profile.

3. Click "OK" in the upper right corner of the session properties box. This connects your computer to Ethio-Internet's FTP Server. The Session Properties box will disappear and the main transfer box will stay active. You will be able to see the progress of the logon process in the box directly above the menu bar. When the log says "226 Transfer complete" and you see the directory listing of the remote computer showing only " / username", you are logged on to 213.55.64.39 Notice that the transfer screen is divided into two sides. "Remote System", the remote computer, that you are logged into, and "Local System", your computer. Each side is also divided with the top half being sub-directories and the bottom half the files in the selected directory.
    

4. On the "Remote System" side, you will see a blank screen on both the upper and lower halves. These are the directories and files that are presently in your Website. If you have not previously added files to your website, there will be nothing there. If you are editing your site, the files that your have previously added will be there.
    

5. Go to the left side of the transfer screen. It is called the "Local System". This displays the directory structure of your computer. Double click the " . . " on the top of list of directories. This brings you to your root (C:\). All of the directories in you computer will now be listed in alphabetical order. Double click on the directory that you created for building your website . The active directory at the top of the local system will say "C:\your-website directory" and you should have your html files listed in it. You are now ready to transfer the file.
    

6. There are two arrows located in the middle of the transfer screen. The top one points from the "remote system" towards the " local system". The bottom one points from the "local system" towards the "remote system". Single click your desired html file in the lower half of the "local system". Click the bottom arrow to transfer the file from the "local system" to the "remote system". This starts the transfer process. A dialog box drops down to display the progress. Before you transfer any information to your server, please note that the FTP really has two transfer modes: ASCII and Binary . ASCII mode is for transferring text files to your Web Server, such as Web pages, or CGI and Perl scripts. Binary mode is for transferring binary files , such as graphics , executable programs , or zip files.
    

7. When the file transfer is completed, click "Close" in the lower left hand corner of the transfer screen, click "exit" in the lower right hand corner. You will now be able to view your website by pointing your browser to http://www.telecom.net.et/~your-website-name

While FTP commands can be issued from the command prompt on many PCs, we recommend using an FTP client (software that issues the FTP commands for you, while providing a more intuitive interface than a prompt). There are many free and useful FTP clients available on the Internet.
