Setting up your Web Directory

You’ll need an Internet connection for this step (unless of course you’re on an Intranet). When you’re logged on, load FTP Explorer. Double-click on your profile name you created in the previous tutorial to log on to your account. You should see some files in this area, among them a folder titled “www.” If this folder is currently non-existent, create one for your account. This folder will be termed your “root directory” and your Web site will be set-up here. Double-click on this folder and create the same folders you created with your locally stored Web site. Make sure the spelling and capitalization for the folders are correct and entirely alike. The Internet is very much case-sensitive. When you’re done, move onto the next step where you will finally “go live” and have an on-line presence on the World Wide Web.
