Free Ftp Program
Chapter 1: Setting up your Website
Section 4: Get Your free ftp program and upload your webpages
The free ftp program is here.
That is pretty simple to use. You just enter your account information, then go to the webpages, images, and other files and double-click them to upload to godaddy (or whatever host you chose.)
Couple things to be careful about is entering your account information. The "host" is www.yoursite.com. Then just enter your user and password for your account, after selecting "normal" for your log on type. If you have to enter a port number, it will probably be 21. Other than that, you are all set. I show all of that in the video on the right.
Note that if you have multiple domain names that you are managing through godaddy, you can have those different account usernames and passwords stored in the site manager profile of your ftp program, so you just need to select the correct website when logging in to your ftp program and you are good to go. I show that on the tutorial video as well.
Now, if you need to make a change to a webpage, you can open the page, make the change, save the file, open up the ftp program, log into your appropriate site manager, and upload the file all in under 30 seconds. When you go to your site through the internet, your changes will be there immediately. Pretty cool!
Next, I show you how you can make your own logo for just $40 quickly and easily. You can also bid that work out on www.elance.com, probably for about the same amount. Might be better just to get the $40 program so that you can make a logo anytime you want, or make changes as needed. Best thing is you can download the program for free as a trial and see if you can find a good desing you like before you pay for the software.
Watch me make the logo for this website on the next page…
