Downloading
an FTP Client
To upload your files so that everybody else can view your
pages and images on the World Wide Web, you will need an
FTP program. Two of the most popular FTP programs are the
latest versions of:
WS_FTP LE (available
for download from download.com)
and
CuteFTP 4.0 (Available
for download from Globalscape)
Configuring
Your FTP Client
Once you have installed one of these programs, you will

What Is The URL (Address)
Of My Web Site?
Once you have successfully uploaded at least
an index.html file (this is what the file name of your primary
web page should be), your website will be available at http://members.rpa.net/~your_mailbox_name.
