Cute-FTP is a program that can be used to manage the construction of your web site. From here you can upload/download files to and from your Virtual Server web space. Once it has been installed you need to configure it, for the purposes of this example we are using Cute-FTP (Visit the Globalscape website to download). You may use any available ftp client to upload your files.
Using FTP >>>

Once you start Cute-FTP you will be greeted by the FTP Site Manager. Click the button marked Add Site. This will bring up the 'Add Host' screen shown below. Although this screen looks complex, it's quite easy to use.

• Site Label - Simply enter any name you wish here to represent your new site. In our example the label we have chosen is 'My New Site'.
• Host Address - It is important that you type this exactly as shown in your welcome email. For example, if your domain name is www.mynewsite.com, then your Host Address would be ftp.mynewsite.com (you will be given a temporary ftp address until your domain has been transferred to our servers).
• User ID & Password - Simply type in the ftp username and password you received in your welcome email. Please note that both the user ID and Password are case sensitive.

Once you have set-up Cute-FTP and clicked the OK button, you will be ready to connect to your site. Cute-FTP will display the directory structure of your virtual server on the right hand side, and your local machine directory structure on the left.

You will now be able to see a number of files and directories, you will mainly be interested in the "mainwebsite_html" and "mainwebsite_cgi" directories. The html directory is where you will store all your html files and images. The cgi directory is where you will store any cgi scripts you wish to use. The main page of your web site should be called index.html or index.htm (all lower case). Your index file is the first page people will see when they go to www.mynewsite.com. Now you can transfer files to and from your virtual server by simply dragging files across from one side to the other. For most file transfers, no adjustments need to be made. However, if you are transferring cgi-scripts make sure you transfer them in ASCII Mode (this option can be found in the transfer section of the FTP menu).
