    Download it using your FTP client, then edit it locally, then upload it again.

    google for "html tutorials"

    You're talking BASICS, and there's a lot out there.

    Just play around at this point, and see what happens. You'll learn, and fast, probably


    Basically... ftp is how you upload your pages. Make a page, upload with ftp, then you've got it on the web. You can also reupload like Twey says to update your pages.


    Google a basic tutorial. You'll be fine.

    As djr33 says, learn the basics and develop your own site, rather than making the generators do it for you. You'll be better for it later.

    Copy and paste containing folder to the FTP server. (Open it up, open up the folder containing the folder you want on the FTP server, copy the folder, click back to the FTP window, right-click anywhere inside the area, and click "Paste". Just in case you really are new, I wouldn't know...) Basically, downloading is copy-pasting FROM the FTP to your computer's disk (Hard drive) and uploading is copy-pasting TO the FTP. Or to publish a page to your HTTP server, (actual Web site) Microsoft has included this nifty little thing in the XP version of MS Explorer (the program that opens FOLDERS) that allows you to "Publish Files to the Internet". It's on the little sidebar. When the window pops up asking where you want the files published to, type in the full name of your web domain (http://www.example.com/, for example) and it should publish them for you. You can overwrite the old ones by publishing a new site of the same name. I have a website up and running, if you want to take a look. It's at coldgunmetal.com. There's not much on it, but my domain host won't let me put much on there without paying for "Ultra Hosting." Well, I gotta go. Bye!


    P.S. I'm new at this too. I'm 14 years old.

    Wah... I typed "qipte" and never noticed.

    And where did you think s/he was uploading his/her files to with FTP?

    Since you don't know what platform he/she is running, or what software is installed, that's not helpful In this case, it would have been better if you'd explained the usage of the "ftp" command-line utility, which functions more-or-less the same on all platforms (that is to say, the Windows one functions more-or-less the same as the open source one, variants of which tend to be included with most platforms).
