Another popular method for uploading files to the Internet via FTP is using MS DOS.  In order to upload your PWP files to the Internet using MS DOS, follow the steps below:

 

1. Click on Start > Run and type cmd

 

2. Click OK

 

3. A DOS command window will open

 

4. In the DOS command window, type ftp home.insightbb.com next to the prompt

 

5. Enter your PWP username and password at the prompts

 

 

 

6. Once logged in, you will see the following information:

 

Connected to home.insightbb.com

220 Website FTP Server Ready

User (home.insightbb.com:(none)): myemailID

331 Password required for myemailD

Password:

230 User myemailID logged

ftp>

 

8. At the ftp> prompt, enter cd public and press Enter

 

9. Place all files you want viewed publicly on the Internet into the public folder

 

 

 

FTP commands:

put filename - places a file from your PC into the public folder

get filename - retrieves a file from the public folder and downlads it to your PC

mput filename1 filename2 filename3 - places multiple files into the public folder from your PC

mget filename1 filename2 filename3 - retrieves multiple files from the public folder and downloads them to your PC

bye - exits the ftp program

 

For FTP help, type ftp --help and press Enter in the DOS command window.

 

Hint: DOS FTP uses many of the same DOS commands such as dir to list your files.
