FTP in MacOS X

Connect to WebValence via FTP in MacOS X

We recommend that you use Apple File Sharing Protocol (AFP) rather than the built-in FTP. It provides file transfer functions and works better.

However, if you want to experiment with FTP in Mac OS X, follow the steps below to connect to WebValence via FTP and download files:

Click on your desktop, or the finder icon in your dock
From the Finder Go menu choose "Connect to Server"
Enter ftp://username@yourdomain.com/ (where username is your WebValence user name and yourdomain.com is the name of your web site)
When prompted, enter your WebValence password, and you will be able to see a folder corresponding to your web site. You will see one folder for each of your web sites.
Double click on a web site folder to view contents
Drag and drop to download from the remote host to your desktop or hard drive.

As of Mac OSX 10.4 the FTP interface supports download only. Use Apple File sharing to upload files to the web server host.

Follow the steps below to connect to WebValence via Apple File Sharing for downloading and uploading files:

AFP: Connect to Server

AFP: Enter User Name and Passwowrd

You should be able to see a folder corresponding to your account, ie, named with your user name. Double click this folder name to see your web site or sites.

Choose Your File Folder

Site Folder

Drag and drop to transfer files to and from the remote host to folders on your hard drive.
