First, start the Internet Site Wizard:
On the View menu, select the Resource Manager submenu.
On the Resource Manager submenu, select Internet Files.
Click the Add
New Connection button, near the top left of the Internet Files Manager.
Enter the name of your server. This name should be something meaningful, to remind you which server you are using.
Enter the server address. The Server is the computer that you connect to when you want to browse the Internet; it also displays your web pages to anyone who visits your Website. For example, Elise might enter: www.woodnet.com
Enter your Login name. Your login name is given to you by your ISP (Internet Service Provider- the company that gets you connected). The Login name and password identify who you are when it comes to uploading your work. ISP's don't want anyone uploading to their Server!
Enter your Password. Your password is also provided by your ISP. If you don't know it, you will need to get in contact with them. Instructions on how to do this are provided in the tutorial described below.
Your remote directory name is the directory on your server used to store your HTML files.
The usual Port Number is 21. Dont change this default value unless your ISP tells you to do so.
The Time Out time determines how long HotDog tries to log on to your server.
The Keep Connection Alive option keeps the connection to your server active, even when you are not uploading or downloading any data. You probably wouldnt want this option if your Internet connection is pay per minute.
Well done. Your server details have been entered. If you have trouble connecting to the Internet, or you are unsure of some of the terms used here, have a look at the Beginners Guide to Uploading.
