Uploading the store to your web site.
On Setup Page Page 5 there is a simplified FTP program that will let
you upload files to your website.
If you use FrontPage ignore this and follow the FrontPage instructions further down this page.
To use the FTP program.
Go to Setup 4.
Click on the Connect button.
Then enter the
FTP Address of your server.
User Name
Password
click OK
select the files you wish to upload in the left hand panel.
Select the folder you wish to upload to in the right hand panel.
Then click Upload
The files you need to upload are as follows.
Transfer these files using FTP to your WebSite.
shop.html
all graphics files (jpg and gif)
all your category files. These have a html extension
from the \shop3\ folder on your computer to a folder on your server.
Copy all these files to the same folder.
The file
shop.pl
should placed in your cgi-bin folder or directory
when using this program (setup5) the cgi-script is automatically uploaded in ASCII mode and the permissions are set correctly.
If you use a separate FTP program you may need to set these yourself.
FrontPage Users
When moving the files to your FrontPage Web from the shopping cart folder, use the import option on FrontPage Explorer.
Open your FrontPage Web first.
Click on File, Import, Add File,
While holding down the Ctrl key select the following files to be moved with the mouse
shop.html
all graphics files (jpg and gif)
all your category files. These have a .html extension
Open, OK
Moving the files any other way may result in FrontPage failing to update them when publishing to your website.
All the html files should be published to the same website directory or folder. Place any JPG or GIF files in this directory also.
Windows and File Extensions
Some set-ups of Windows may hide the file extension. So shop.html may appear as just shop
If this effects you.
Select "My Computer"
Select "Control Panel".
Select "Folder Options."
Select "View"
"Uncheck" the box that says "Hide file extensions for know file
types."
Click "OK"
