What
is FTP ?
FTP
(file transfer protocol) is a way to transfer files from your
computer to the server, and vice versa. There are different
FTP clients available, like, CuteFTP, WS_FTP etc. which helps
in the transfer of files.
You may wish to
download them at heir respective websites viz.
www.coreftp.com
You may as well
connect to your FTP server using the web browser functionality
by accessing your accounts as ftp://domainname.com (only on
Unix/Linux hosting accounts) For windows hosting accounts you
can access FTP on browser using following ftp://<ftp user name>:domainname.com

Accessing
FTP
You
can create and maintain web pages on your computer, then upload
the files to your website. FTP is the preferred method of
transferring the files to your website.
If
you are using FrontPage, you should never use FTP to upload
the files, as this will damage the FrontPage extensions.
Details
required by the FTP Client for accessing the website, are
- Domain
Name or IP Address
- Account
username
- Account
password

Changing
File Permissions using FTP Client
Log
into your account and go to the directory where the files
are located. Highlight the file that you want to change permission.
Locate the "file permission" or "chmod"
command on your FTP software (if you are using WS FTP, highlight
the file, right click and choose "chmod"). There
should be three groups. Each group should have either checkboxes
or a selection for the permission type.
Set
pages to rw- for the owner, no permission for the group, and
r--for other.
Set
scripts to rwx for the owner, r-x group, and r-x for other.

Domain
is not coming up by domain.com but by only IP address
Make
sure your domain name is registered. Also make sure the Nameservers,
are updated to ns1.1uphost.com ns2.1uphost.com and not to
your old hosting company. Your domain will take 48 –
72 hours to propogate worldwide.

Traceroute
(Tracert)
A
"trace route" (tracert) is a function which visually
traces the path from your machine to our server. Normally
traceroute displays the time and location of the route taken
to reach its destination computer. It allows us to determine
the source of many problems. To be effective, the trace route
MUST be run during a time when you are experiencing the problem,
from a computer that is experiencing the problem
How
to do Traceroute in Windows
In Windows, Go to "Start" > "Run".
Type "command" (or "cmd" in Windows 2000)
and press the "Enter" key. To run the tracert, you
should type "tracert yourdomain.name". Then send
us the complete results for analysis.
