FTPing to MVI Solutions Servers

1. In the following example we walk through FTP setup of the site www.acme.com with a username of smanager1 you must change the information to reflect your actual domain name and username.
   
   Note: We assume here that you are using a standard client FTP program (e.g. WS-FTP Pro or CuteFTP). If you are using a different program, you may need to make some slight adjustments.
   
   
   a) Open your FTP client program
   
   b) Set up a new connection. The host name should be www.acme.com; the username is smanager1; the password
   is different in each case and can be supplied by your MVI Solutions representative.
   
   c) Use your FTP client program to connect to your site in the directory /users/smanager1. You will need to go UP two directories until you are in the root ("/") directory.
   
   d) In the root directory, you will see several folders; go into the one that says web.
   
   e) If this is a brand new site with an under construction or placeholder page viewable via the web, then there will be a default index.html page in this directory. Delete this file and replace it with your own index.htm or index.html file. Note: Your front page MUST be named index.htm or index.html to be read properly by the web server.
