This is a short but very useful tutorial for people still new to the world of programing.I usually find that a lot of people ask me the same questions all the time like "where do i upload my scripts" or "how do i upload them to my server" ...well the anwers to your quetions will be in this tutorial.

 

TUTORIAL PART 1

 

Abit about ftp and where to upload your files

 

How do you upload scripts to a server? Using something we call an ftp client...an ftp is used to upload scripts/files into anywhere in the server u like..some ftps allows you to send your files to other servers without the need of uploading the whole script/file again...or the great option to unzip files as well with out you having to unzip it on your pc and having to upload every single file...

 

Once that you have your server up and running, you can start uploading your files to it using the ftp clients.The right folder to upload your scripts/files so that they can be accessable would be the folder called "public_html"...all files and scripts that are uploaded to that folder will now be accessable on the net using a browser..all files that are uploaded anywhere else will be private and will not be accessable by any one...

 

TUTORIAL PART 2

 

Accessing your files using a browser

 

If you have uploaded a file named eg: world.php to "public_html" than it will be accessable to everyone on the net...but how do you access the file using a browser? Well depanding if the file is by its self in "public_html" or in a folder. That will determine how u will be about accessing useing your browser...eg lets say my world.php file is uploaded in the folder test in "public_html" than i would point my browser to http://www.yourdomain.com/test/world.phpexample 2 if my file was by its self in "public_html" than I'll point my browser to http://www.yourdomain.com/world.phpalways make sure you know the path to the file you wana access or you wount be able to view it.

 

So that concludes our tutorial....from now on you should be uploding your files and scripts and accessing them with ease
