I am completely new to ftp. When I go to my ftp site why can't I see the files or the pages of the initial site that tells me my site has been set up? How do I upload file to my site, such as image files? Must I only use some software as Visual Studio to publish and will aspnet_client be the folder I upload to? When I upload my site, when I navigate to this ftp site again, will I see my folder structure?
We recommend downloading and installing FileZilla for your FTP client: http://filezilla-project.org/download.php You can use the instructions in this Knowledge Base article to configure FileZilla to access your site account at Winhost: http://support.Winhost.com/KB/a660/configuring-filezilla-to-access-your-web-site.aspx
I installed filezilla; I completed the steps; a new site folder was created; I copied my site files over, but I can't get the site to pull up. Where did I go wrong?
We recommend it because it's easy and the logs are always easy to access, in case you're having issues. You can of course use any other client, but FileZilla being free and widely used, makes it easier to support. If you do use another client and are having problems, let us know and we can help you troubleshoot the issues.
