What is FTP?
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is the simplest and most secure way to exchange files over the Internet.
How do I get started?
Well, first of all you need to have and FTP available host. If your are getting hosted than your host will give you a ftp address, a username and a password. For example:
Address: ftp.wishable.net
Username: Jen@wishable.net
and a password.
What do I do with this information?
You need to get a FTP program to transfer files. I use SmartFTP. Once you have downloaded your FTP program then you need to enter this information and click "connect" under the "FTP" menu.
Here is a pic of where you need to enter the info:
How do I make html pages?
Open notepad and add all your html and stuff for your page and then go to "File", "save as" and where it says "Save as type:" change it to "All files" and where it says "File name:" save it as pagename.html "pagename" can be whatever you want but it must have the .html at the end.
How do I transfer my files?

I'm Jenny. I'm 19. I live in Waverly, Iowa in the U.S. I have one sibling, my sister, Lisa. I have a cat, Pepper. He's all black and can
be loving one minute and then chomp down on your arm the next minute. I work at Digital Dog Pound Video in Waverly. It is a movie rental and
tanning place. I am going to Hawkeye Community College for webdesign. I am only in my second semester so I still have a lot to learn.
