The following instructions should give you a guide as to how to uploaded your web pages to the Possums web servers.

1. You will need an ftp 'client' program for your computer to upload your web page. There are several different ftp programs on the market, many can be downloaded for free. These instructions are based on ws-ftp, a commonly used ftp program that is easy to use. Instructions can be easily adapted to the ftp program of your choice.
   
   
2. If you don't already have ws-ftp you can download it from www.download.com. Search for ws-ftp then download and install the software on your computer.
   
   
3. Run ws-ftp from the start-programs menu.
   
   
4. ws-ftp should start and automatically launch the "Session Properties" panel.
   
   
5. Click "New" to add a new connection profile.
   
   
6. Complete the panel as follows, then click OK to connect.
   
   
   
   
   
7. After a few seconds you should be connected to the Possums ftp server.
   
   
8. The server is an ftp server, it's url is ftp.possums.net.au
   
   
9. You should use the same UserName and password that you use for email.
   
   
10. You will notice the ws-ftp has two panels in the main window. The left side panel displays the filesystem on your local machine. The right panel shows the filesystem on the webserver. You should already be in your home directory and should see the public_html folder.
    
    
    
    
11. Double click the public_html folder in the right panel to enter this folder. All of your web page content must be installed inside this folder. This folder will be the web root of your site.
    
    
    
    
12. Notice the file index.html, this file is the main or start page for your website. The server will automatically load this page when somebody accesses your site.
    
    
13. Select the files that you want to upload to the server in the left panel. Note: web servers are unix based, this means that the server will treat MyFile.Jpg, MYFILE.JPG and myfile.jpg as different files, Windows treats these all as the same filename. You will avoid confusion if you use only lower case characters for file and directory names before you upload. You will get "404" errors if you get it wrong.
    
    
14. Click the upload button to transfer the select files to the server. When the upload is complete the new files should appear in the right panel (ie on the web server). You may need to click the refresh button to update the list.
    
    
15. It is also possible to download the files to your computer if you wish. This is done by highlighting the files on the server side (right panel) then clicking the download button . Note that you should ensure that you have selected the appropriate directory in the left panel before you start the download. Files will be downloaded into the folder that appears in the left panel.
