Connecting to and transferring files to/from your site with WS_FTP.

• Open WS_FTP - the first screen should look like this. If not, click the "Connect" button in the lower left-hand corner of your screen.

• For "Profile Name," type either the name of your company or whatever you would like to have WS_FTP refer to your site as.
  
• For "Host Name/Address," you can either type your domain name or the IP address of the server (66.186.176.216).
  
• Leave "Host Type" set to Automatic detect.
  
• "User ID" should be the same User ID you use to login to the server.
  
• "Password" should also be the same password you use to login to the server.
  
• Leave "Account" and "Comment" blank, put a check in "Save Pwd" if you would like to save your password, and then click "Apply" and "OK."
  
• The connection screen should disappear and be replaced by this screen:
  

• This is the main screen where all file transfers take place. The window on your left is the local window, where you can see the files on your hard drive. The window on your right is the remote window, where you can see the files currently on the server.
  
• The first thing you'll need to do is double-click the green arrow at the top of the remote window two times to move up two directory levels. Next, double-click on the folder titled "web" to enter the folder where your website is stored. To make sure that you automatically enter this directory every time you connect, you can click on the "Options" button at the bottom of the screen and click the button that says "Save current directories as Connection Directories," and then click "OK."
  
• To upload files to your server, you simply highlight the files or folders in the local window that you want to transfer, and then click the right-pointing arrow in the middle of the screen. Conversely, to download files from the server, you highlight files in the remote window and click the left-pointing arrow.
  
• A word of warning: WS_FTP does NOT confirm if a file already exists on the server (or on your hard drive) before you transfer it. Be absolutely positive that you are uploading/downloading the correct versions of said files/folders BEFORE you click the arrows.
  
• To delete files in WS_FTP, simply right-click on the files and select delete OR highlight them and hit the delete button. To delete entire folders, you must first enter the folder (and every one of the sub-folders) and delete all the files contained within.
  
• To move files from one directory to another, highlight the files you want to move and click the "ChgDir" button. A dialog box will appear asking you the name of the folder you wish to transfer the files to. If you want to move the files up one level (say, from the images folder to the root folder) type ../ in the dialog box and click "OK."
  
• To create a new folder in WS_FTP, click the "MkDir" button and enter the name of the new folder.
  
• Note: WS_FTP has an unfortunate tendency to freeze after an operation has been completed. To unfreeze the program, the easiest way is to click "Close" and then "Cancel" repeatedly. If this does not work, click "Exit" and then "Cancel."
