How do I Upload a website with filezille and yahoo web hosting?
I do not know about filezille, but I can direct you on what files, and where to upload them to.
I will assume that you have logged into yahoos ftp site, and that you also have a website created on your computer, that is in a folder named 'myhtml'. Your folder does not have to be named this ('myhtml'), it is only an example.
On opening Yahoos ftp site, I will give you to scenarios, as I am not sure how it operates.
1. If you have a list of folders already, and one of them is named 'public_html', open this folder. Go to the steps below.
2. If you have no folders, that is normal as well. Follow the next steps.
In the 'public_html' folder, or the place with no folders, you want to upload at least your 'index.html' or 'index.htm' file to the place you are now at.
If you have created additional folders in your 'myhtml' folder, then you need to create these folders, with the same names, on the ftp site. Some ftp programs, such as forezille, may offer the ability to copy the whole folder from you computer, thereby allowing you not to have to make so many steps.
Then you will need to change to these newly created folders, in both the ftp site, and on your computer, and upload all the files for that folder. If you have additional folder, you will have to redo the steps above to create these other folders.
I can provide an example from my ftp site that shows the folders and index.html file. Note that I have used the 'ls -l' command, in words, el es space minus el.
ftp> ls -l
