Whenever
possible, upload your site using the utilities that
come with your web-site development software. For instance,
if you made your site with SiteStudio, FrontPage or
Dreamweaver, use their integrated web publishing tools.
If you made your site with simple text editors, or if
your site-building software does not have a publishing
utility, use freestanding FTP clients, such as CuteFTP,
SmartFTP, or the built-in web-based FTP agent.
Please note that site publishing tools don't remove
your old web content from the server. For instance,
if you used SiteStudio to upload a site with 15 pages
and later you published an updated 7 page version of
this site, your directory on the server will have all
the new pages and the old pages that haven't been overwritten.
If you publish many versions of the website, the site
may become cluttered with old files. Warning: If you
have a complete website, be careful not to overwrite
it with a publish command.
Don't upload your site to the root of your user
directory! Instead, put it to the specific
directory. |
