you need is an FTP program. A FTP program is a program which uses File Transfer
Protocols to upload your pages onto another computer (called a server) which holds
your web space. Whoa!!!!!!!! Hang on! Reality Check! We've
gone from talking all nicely to talking in Tech Speak. Sorry. Lets start at the
beginning. For most people the web space they'll use will come with their
ISP account. Most ISP's give 10-20 Mb of web space free with the account. If you
don't - then there are lots of places you can get free web space from.
For more information on this please see your ISP's homepages. There should be
a section about uploading to your web space where it'll give you the information
you need to put into a FTP program. You generally need your username,
where to ftp to and your password. Oh and a ftp program. You
might have heard of Cute FTP, or WS FTP. There are others available.
You can find lots of FTP programs on Tucows
Hint:You can search by operating system if you've not got windows installed. Some
web design programs have ftp facilities included as part of the program. Some
people still prefer to use an external FTP program to upload pages.
