When you start up CuteFTP the first window you will see is the FTP Site Manager box. Click on Add Site.

On the General tab enter the following:

• Site Label as whatever you want to label your site for easy identification.
• Host Address as www.localdial.com (for home members) or your subdomain.localdial.com (for people with sub domains).
• UserID - Your UserID (e.g. if your email address was jbloggs@localdial.com it would be jbloggs).
• Password - Your password just as if you were logging on.
• Initial Local Directory - Look for or enter the path to the directory your HTML files are stored in.

Also check that Login type is set to Normal, Transfer type is set to Auto-Detect, Host Type is set to Auto-Detect and Local Filtering should be checked. All the other boxes should be empty.

On the Advanced tab check that Port is 21, Connection Retries is 20 and all the other boxes should be either blank or greyed out.

Click on Enter

Next you will be returned to Site Manager. Find and double click on your site label in the right box (e.g. 'My site'). Your computer will now connect to the server ready for you to transfer your files.

A new window will appear with your local directory and files on the left and on the right your directory on the web server.

Your files must be placed in the public_html directory. Double click on the public_html directory to open it, the drag your files across from the local directory on the left to the remote directory on the right. The first file of your site MUST be saved as index.html
