username (e.g., www123f1).

Password: enter the password you use to log onto the Confixx web in 

terface. If you have created another FTP user and wish to use that user,

enter the password of that user.

Host/URL/server: in this section, enter your domain or the address you

received from your webhoster (without 'http://', i.e. only 'domain.tld').

You have two choices when transferring files via FTP:

1. Transfer in ASCII format

2. Transfer in binary format

The preferred type of transfer depends on what individual file you want

to upload.

Many FTP programs offer automatic detection of ASCII/BINARY files.

This works for most files (HTML documents and images), but if you want

to upload PHP3, Perl scripts, ZIP or program files or other less common

types of files, you should select the type of transfer manually.

Any ASCII files must be uploaded in ASCII format, any binary files in

binary format. The ASCII files principally include all text files:

  htm/html documents (*.html, *.htm, *.shtml)

  script files (*.php3, *.php, *.asp)

  text files (*.txt)

  Perl scripts (*.pl/*.cgi)

Some of the files included in binary files are:

  images/graphics (*.gif,*.jpg)

  Microsoft Word files, rich text format (*.doc, *.rtf)
