Re: Uploading thro FTP

The email bounced:
- These recipients of your message have been processed by the mail server:
Linda??????****.com; Failed; 5.3.0 (other or undefined mail system status)

Remote MTA mailin-01.mx.aol.com: network error


- SMTP protocol diagnostic: 554-: (RLY:CH) http://postmaster.info.aol.com/errors/554rlych.html\r\n554 TRANSACTION FAILED


I have re-sent it.

Anyway, that was the content:

Hi Linda, sorry, just had a look at my email.
vegetable-garden.html is NOT a zip archive, it's just a html page (unless you have mistaken the extension). If it is indeed a html file, just upload it on the server, using blue Ftp (Blue FTP is a FTP software, it is simply called Blue because it is part of BlueVoda), others are called Smart FTP, Quick FTP and so on.
If it is a zip, unzip it. First create a folder on your computer, called f.e. "garden". Then double click on the zip file, and the content of the zip archive will appear. It will probably be a number of .html pages. Click on "Extract to" and the files will be extracted from the zip. Select as destination folder your "garden" folder. At this point you have the files, unzipped, in your "garden" folder.
Open BleFTP, connect to your site, and in the right part of the screen you have your site structure and content. Click on the ""veggigarden" folder to open it. When it opens, there should only be two files in there, a folder (cgi-bin) and a file called ".htaccess". Now, on the left part of the screen you can see your computer content. Usually what you see is your Bluevoda folder content, so navigate (use the UP arrow) to find the "garden" folder". Select all the files, and drag them to the right part of your screen, that is your "veggigarden" folder on the site. You are done. If you have problems, let me know, or send me un email with the zip attached, and i will upload the files for you.
Bye

Giorgio

Asking how to turn on a light switch, how to turn a doorknob or how to blink your eyes are examples of stupid questions. You're not asking stupid questions. If you were, you just KNOW that I would have smarted off at you by now. LOL
