Best Answer

In most cases, you're going to need to use an FTP client. FileZilla (see related links) is a full featured, free FTP client for multiple platforms. These clients typically show your local hard drive on one side, and the remote server on the other. They allow you to transfer files to and from the server. Essentially, it's the same as copying a file to a new folder, but over the network.

Your hosting provider will have provided you with the URL and a username/password combination set to allow you to login to the appropriate FTP site.

In some cases, hosting providers also provide a web interface that allows you to pick the file from your local machine and upload it to the server via an HTTP interface. Again, your host will provide you this information.

For more on FTP, including a walk-through of the FileZilla interface, see the related link "FTP: A Client Side Primer."

Can i have a program to upload your HTML files to the internet?

You can't upload your files to "the internet". You will first need a web space provider (or install a server yourself and buy a domain).Once you have web space, you will need an FTP connection to it and an FTP client to upload files there. Some programs for page design or developing such as Notepad++ or Dreamweaver already come with a built-in FTP client or easy add-on systems.

How do you upload your web files on to a web server?

If you don't already, you need your domain name hosted on a Web server. There are hundreds of Web hosting providers to choose from. The company that registered your domain name might even offer hosting. Once you have a Web host, the hosting provider should give you instructions for uploading files to the server. Generally, it is done with an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program, such as WS_FTP or FileZilla, etc. (for PCs) or Fetch (for Mac's). It is also common for hosting providers to offer uploading through built-in control panels that come with your plan, but it depends on the hosting company.


How do you copy your site to a remote server?

First, you need an FTP program. FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, and FTP programs enable you to upload and download files between remote and local computers. They may also enable you to create and modify HTML, PHP, CSS, and other web files. An example of a professional FTP/web design program is Adobe Dreamweaver. Once you've acquired an FTP program, you'll need to obtain access to your web host's server. You'll need your host's web address, a login name, and a login password. You can obtain those by contacting your web host.
