FrontPage should contact the server and begin the upload of your files. The "first time" all files will be uploaded. After that, you can choose to transfer only files that change.

Netscape Composer

Open Netscape and choose Composer from the "Window" menu. Create or edit the page to upload.
Click the "Publish" button.
Settings Tab:
Site Name: www.YourSiteName.com
Publish Address: ftp://www.YourSiteName.com
HTTP Address of your Home Page: http://www.YourSiteName.com
Login Information: Enter your "User Name" and "Password".
Publish Tab:
Page Title: Type an appropriate title
File Name: index.html for the "homepage". Choose other .html names for other pages.
Sites Directory for this page: None for the home page. Put something here ONLY if this file goes into a subdirectory.
If you need to retrieve the files in your site, Netscape does NOT offer that option. Use an FTP program to login to your site.

Notes

Users of some publishing programs try to "save" to the server. Webmasters should always keep copies of their web pages on their computers, so change that option if it is being used.

Web page "extensions" such as Java, JavaScript, Flash, Microsoft Front Page work fine as long as they do not require "server-side" processing of scripts. IOCC.com supports many secure scripting languages such as Perl and PHP for things like form mailing and page counters, but not Front Pages server-side extensions and "Active Server Pages" (ASP) routines.

Preferred names for the "home page" are (in this order): index.html, index.htm, index.shtml, index.php, index.php4, index.php3, index.cgi and default.asp.
