## Uploading your site to a Web server

To make your Web site available on the Internet you need to copy the HTML and resource files to a suitable Web server, and this is called uploading the site.

The procedure depends on whether you have a Web server that you access via FTP, a .Mac account, or a Web server that you access simply using file copy.

### To upload via FTP

If your Web space is provided by an Internet Service Provider, the most usual way of uploading your files to your Web space is via FTP. To do this you need to know the server name, directory to contain the files, and your log-on user name and password.

- Open the File menu and choose Upload..., then choose FTP from the Upload pop-up menu:

- Enter the FTP details in the appropriate fields.

The Directory is optional and can be left blank.

Alternatively leave the User name and Password blank, and Freeway will prompt you to enter them each time you upload to the site.

- Select Passive FTP Mode (PASV) if your ISP requires it, or if upload fails without it.
- Leave Save FTP log unchecked unless your ISP has specifically requested that you select it.

Occasionally an ISP may require you to enter certain FTP commands to access the site, and you can enter these by clicking the Script... button.

- Click the OK button to upload the files via FTP.

### To upload your site to a .Mac account

- Open the File menu and choose Upload..., then choose .Mac from the Upload pop-up menu:

- Enter your member name and password in the appropriate fields and click the OK button to upload the site.

Your site can then be accessed via the address:

`http://homepage.mac.com/myname/`

where `myname` is your .Mac member name.

Note that .Mac assumes that the default page of your site is called `index.html`, so you should make sure that your home page has this file name.
