Will it be possible to give a quick refresher on how to upload our site to the server for the assignment?

Do we need to delete our last assignment or how do you start a new one?

Delete the old files.
Any files with the same name will in any event be overwritten.

You don't "start a new one", you just upload your files into the appropriate directory.

Same url - not sure what the rest of your question is.

Delete all the old files, and then upload the new files to the same url / directories.

Use an FTP client such as FileZilla.

Some ISPs have an FTP client available on the CPanel.

That is an FTP client provided by the ISP, which you can use to upload your files.

Basically, do the same as you did with the assignment.


FTP = File Transfer Protocol.

FileZilla is a free open source program that you can use to upload files.

The url is the place where you upload your files.
It makes no difference how you upload the files, or what program you use.

Start by having a look at these tutorials -

Have you looked at the tutorial ?

The host is where your website is located.

You don't have to enter anything for the port - it uses a default value.

Its the same url where you previously uploaded your files.

ie: The website location that you created at your ISP, the place where you want to HOST your files.

You need to use the same username and password that you used previously.

No, its NOT the same for everybody.

Its YOUR website, which you want to HOST in YOUR domain.

You upload the files to the domain name that you created.

HOST is the place you want to upload your files to.

What did you enter into a browser to display your assignment ? That is HOST.

Deleting your files does not remove the domain / directory.
It just means that the directory is empty, but it is still there.

HOST should be -

milnaylouw.freeoda.com

or possibly -

ftp.milnaylouw.freeoda.com

Local Site - Navigate to the folder / directory where you saved all your project files. You do not have to create anything.
You will see all your files listed.

Remote Site - Navigate to either "public_HTML" or "www". They are the same directory.
You must put your files, particularly the index file, there or your site will not auto-run.

You only have to create sub-directories if you have sub-directories in your project - eg: images.

You MUST have a file named index.??? (.html, .php, .asp etc).
The website will not auto-load without it.

You shouldn't store files on the desktop. Create an appropriate project directory to save your files in.
