Downloading and Uploading files You will need to download and upload files to and from your site.
You can use use either the File
Manager in the Control Panel, an FTP
Utility, or In all cases, you will need to enter the address of your site in the FTP This will always be in the form ftp.yoursitename.com You will also need the user name and password that I have emailed you (the same ones that you use for the control panel |
| You can also save other people's files from the internet
:- 1. You can also save (almost) any web page from the internet. When you are on the page you want, click with the RIGHT mouse button, and left click on "View Source". This opens a window with the code, and you can then save this and open it in your own web editor to adapt it. The subsidiary files might be saved in a directory in the same location. 2. Any picture can be saved by clicking with the RIGHT mouse button, then "Save Target As" and this will open a "Save File" box - you can save the picture in your chosen directory. NOTE. Copyright is a grey area - nearly everything on the internet is to some extent public domain, but it is also someone else's intellectual property - if you use a large amount of material from a source, you should either link to it, and/or change the text so that it is substantially different. 3. NOTE: If you want to upload an .exe file (and some others) to your website, you must use an FTP utility with ASCII transfer for this. The file transfer utility in Dreamweaver is NOT suitable for this. Additional Information |
