Question
How do I post up pdf's, video or slideshows to my site and create links for clients to view if I am on a PC using Windows XP?
Answer:
1. Click on the start button at the bottom of your screen and find "my network places" (if it is not visible there you will need to go to your control panel and find it there.)
2. for the sake of easy access I recommend right clicking on the "my network places" icon and selecting "show on desktop"
3. Double click on the "my network places" icon and select "add a network place" under network tasks and click it
4. click next and select "choose another network location" then click next again
5. enter your ftp address like this: ftp://ftp.siteaddress.com and click next
6. uncheck log on anonymously and enter the username given to you and click next
7. type in any name you wish to refer to your site (it will fill in a default name automatically but you can change that if you want). Click next.
8. make sure the there is a check next to where it says "Open this network place when I click finish" and click "finish"
9. a new window will open up - your username should be filled in automatically and below that you should enter the password given to you by your BluDomain representative. If you do not want to enter your password each time you can check the save password box and you will always have direct access to your site.
10. Once you fill in the appropriate information click "log on" and you will be in your website file storage area.
11. anything you want to show up on the web should be uploaded to the www directory. Once uploaded These files can be accessed in your web browser by typing in your website address - adding a / and then entering the file name. For example if you uploaded a slideshow called slideshow1 in the www directory you can access it online by going to http://www.siteaddress.com/slideshow1 - You can link to this from anywhere in the text sections of your site. When naming folders be sure that you do not use spaces or capital letters.
