Navigating Your Developer Server with WS_FTP

Once you have established a connection between your local computer and your Developer Server, two columns appear on your screen. The left column displays directories and files on your local computer. The right column displays directories and files on your Developer Server.

The directory where you store web content is called www/htdocs or usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs.

<> Transferring Files from Your Computer to Your Developer Server

1. Select the files or directories displayed on your local computer (the left side). You can select more than one by holding down the shift key.
2. To add them to your Developer Server (the right side), click the arrow button.

Note: Transfer all HTML documents and CGI scripts in ASCII mode. Transfer graphics in binary format. The latest versions of WS_FTP provide an "Auto" button, which allows WS_FTP to automatically determine in which mode to transfer files. The "Auto" button may not always work, so if you experience problems, you should manually set the mode.
