Xenon Design Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 What youll need to do is FTP upload the files to the server. Then for the database you'll have to transfer the data over.I cant elaborate atm because im at school. But im sure someone else can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlhaslip Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Sometimes the Host includes a method or software to do that, yes. Other times you need to download a copy of a package like smartftp or cuteftp to allow you to do this. If you use Firefox as a Browser, install the FireFTP extension to manage your uploads/downloads. These are merely suggestions. Any FTP package will work (in most cases) better than the Host's alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Moen Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 If you need an FTP program, I found a website with a little list over some FTP programs: http://www.thefreesite.com/Free_Software/FTP_freeware/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justsomeguy Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Use public_html, the server has a folder where web files are stored, on some it is htdocs, on some it is public_html, on some it is wwwroot, it depends whatever the server is set up to use.

Anders Moen Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 And if you don't know if it's htdocs, public_html or whatever, just ask your host Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
