How to Transfer (upload) Your Web Pages Using Internet Explorer.
Once you have created your webpage(s) you have to transfer them from your computer to your web server where you have your hosting setup. Most hosting is setup to do this using FTP (file transfer protocol). Some editors have this built in and for others you must use a free standing FTP program such as SmartFTP ( http://smartftp.com ) which is my favorite.
There is a way though to use Internet Explorer to do the job really easily and quickly. Open a new Internet Explorer window and type your web site address into the window but since you want to use FTP instead of HTTP change http to ftp so that it looks like this:
You should then be presented with a login window where you enter your user name and password so that you have editing access to your site. If all goes well, you will then see a list of folders and files that exist on your site.
Now, the cool part is that you can now, just drag a file from a folder on your computer to a folder in that Internet Explorer window and Internet Explorer will transfer that file to your web server. This process lacks some of the options that are available with regular FTP programs, but it is free, quick and easy.
