Configuring WS FTP
Software
Microsoft Frontpage Users
Customers with Microsoft Frontpage extensions installed on their sites should
use only the Frontpage publishing feature to transfer files. Using regular FTP
can corrupt the extensions, disabling the functionality of the Frontpage web and
requiring that the site be deleted to reinstall the extensions.
- Open your
WS_FTP program
- On the
Session Properties screen, click on the General tab. Here you have
several fields that you need to fill out.

is commonly used here
Host
Name/Address: This is ftp.yourdomain.com, where yourdomain.com is your
actual domain name.

Controller Control Panel.
- Click the
Apply button and then the OK button
- Next, you must
configure the ASCII extensions so that your text based files will transfer
correctly. Get to this window by clicking Options at the bottom of the
main window and selecting the Extensions tab. Here you enter .htm,
.html, .pl, .txt, .cgi or any other file extensions that need to be
transferred as text.
- Next, click on
the Session (cont'd) tab and select Auto Detect under the
Startup Transfer Mode.
- Click Apply
and OK.
- To upload or
download a file, highlight the file, and click the Arrow buttons in between
the window that points in the direction you want it to move. In other words,
to upload, click a file in the left box, and click the arrow pointing to the
right, and it will appear on the right.
