Thanks,
RyanHow do I make changes to my website via the Internet?
Hi there,
You should be able to log into your (hosting) control panel for your website and do anything you want in there.
If it's cPanel, then you click on:
File Manager %26gt;%26gt; folder icon next to public_html %26gt;%26gt; click on the file name %26gt;%26gt; select Edit on the top right hand side of the page.
If you do not have cPanel, but do have access to whatever control panel your hosting company offers, then it should be basically along those same lines, however with some the public_html folder may be named www instead.
Alternately, as the others have mentioned you can edit your files using an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client such as Filezilla which is free to download and use.
To access your files via FTP you simply enter the url, domain name or IP address of your website (whatever the FTP you use asks for), and the usual log in information, such as the Username and Password, you normally use to access the control panel when you are at work.
With an FTP program you can transfer (really it just copies them) the files for your website to the computer you are using. You can make any changes you want or need to on the files, save them, and then FTP the updated files back into the hosting control panel.
An FTP program is also what most people use to make backup copies of their website to store on their personal/work computer. It's also the quickest way to do so.
Good luck with it!How do I make changes to my website via the Internet?
If your hosting company offers some type of online website builder, you may want to look into using that.
If your website was created in HTML and there are files on a server, you may want to log in and see if you're able to edit the files using some type of file manager.
Good luck and I hope I helped you!
you need to be able to access the website files using either a publishing program (dreamweaver, frontpage) or using a an FTP client so you can then edit the files locally...
they probably use a FTP client... you can get one here:
http://filezilla-project.org/
you will need a server ip address, user name, and password to login to your site
If your web pages are hosted on a ';free'; host one of the downsides is that you have to accept adverts added to your pages.
If this is what is happening to you, there may be little you can do about it, apart from moving your site to a host which makes a charge but does not include adverts.
