4.1 Using Microsoft Internet Explorer to install AWE Easy Web Site Creator

The most common method adopted by hosting providers to allow you manage your files in the server is FTP.
 
If your hosting uses FTP, you can upload the script using your favorite FTP client software.
 
Since Microsoft Internet Explorer has built in FTP support and is widely used, we will show how to use it to upload AWE Easy Web Site Creator script.
 
  1. Open Microsoft Internet Explorer and type the FTP address that your hosting provided to you.
     
    In the sample below, we are connecting to aweeditions.com hosting server. You should replace     ftp://ftp.aweeditions.com by your own FTP server address.

     
  2. Most servers will ask for Username and Password, so Microsoft Internet Explorer will pop up the Log On As window:
     


    Ensure that the Log on anonymously check box is clear and type the username and password that your web hosting provider furnished to you.
     
     
    If your server don't ask automatically for username and password, force Internet Explorer to display the Log On dialog, by selecting Login As... from the File menu:


  3. After username and password validation, Internet Explorer will display the servers content. You can browse the folders as you do in your own computer.
    You can put the Easy Web Site Creator files just by drag-n-drop or copy & paste them like you do between 2 drives of your PC.

    If you don't know which folder to choose to put the web pages in, read your hosting provider documentation.
After you upload the AWE Easy Web Site Creator files, the Internet Explorer window should looks like:
 
 
Note:
Many FTP clients have higher performance than Microsoft Internet Explorer FTP support, so you may want to use another FTP client software.
