Heidi Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 Hi-I am very new at this! I have taken over the (volunteer) webmaster postition for a charity club. I have a pdf file that I need to upload and can't seem to figure out how. Right now the pdf file is on my computer-how do I get it to the server so others can see it? Thank you for your help in this!

TCH-Don Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 Welcome to the forums Heidi If you are hosted here You can use an ftp program or your cpanel's file manager to upload to a folder inside your public_html folder If you are hosted some where else check with your host to see where public files go. With ftp navigate to the file on your computer in the local window and to the desired folder on your site in the remote window drag the file from the local window to the remote window. with file manager, click the folder icons to go inside the public_html folder and continue to the desired folder then select upload file, browse to the pdf file and select upload. Then you can link to it for others to view or download. Hope this helps. Quote
TCH-Rob Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 Heidi, Don about summed it up. Welcome to the forums and let us know if you need further explanation. Quote
stevevan Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 Welcome to the forums. Don is right on the money. It's easier (in my opinion) using a separate FTP program. While Frontpage is a good program to use to learn website design (I used it myself), eventually you'll want to move to another program where you'll have more control over the content. There are several freebies out there. In fact, one was mentioned in the forums not long ago, although I can't seem to find it! Quote
