Website Step-by-Step Uploading

Uploading pictures to your website is easy to do with ISCTEX.  For first time users it can be confusing so we will show you step by step how to get a FTP program and then how to configure it to upload pictures.  

First thing you should do is call ISCTEX during office hours to have us activate your web space.

1. In order to upload pictures you will need a File Transfer Protocol program (FTP)  One that we commonly use and recommend is WS_FTPLE.EXE (Click on ws_ftple.exe to download)

2. Once you have the program downloaded you will have to install it.  During the installation it may ask you about your intended usage of the program.  Answer the questions to get it installed properly.

3.  Next you will want to start the program so that you can begin FTPing.  You will come to a screen that will have specific boxes to fill out so that the program knows where to upload your pictures.  Click the NEW... button and then enter the following information into the corresponding boxes

Profile Name: your ISCTEX login name
Host Name/Address: www.yourdomain.com
Host Type: Automatic Detect
User ID: your login name
Password: your password
Account: Leave this blank
Comment: Leave this blank

It should look similar to this:

4.  Then click the tab on the top that is labeled Startup.  The Initial Remote Site Folder must be var/www/html similar to the picture below.

5.  Next, make sure your modem is still connected then click the OK button on the Session Properties window to begin your connection to your web space.  When you are connected you will see a split screen.  

6. The Left side of the Screen is your computer, the right site of the screen is ISCTEX's web server.  On the left side of the screen navigate through your computer to the location where your pictures are located and highlight them by selecting it with the mouse pointer and clicking.  While it is highlighted you will see two arrows in the middle of the left and right screens.  Click the arrow that is pointing to ISCTEX's server, it should be an arrow that looks like this: you should see the picture copied on the right side.

7. Your picture is now uploaded to your web space.  The URL of your picture would be:  http://www.yourwebsite.com/picturename.jpg  Make sure you substitute the correct website name and picture name in the URL above.  Also make sure that you take note if anything is in upper or lower case letters, our server treats an upper case "A" differently than a lower case "a".
