3.3 Setting up the Remote Site

Before you can transfer the local website files from your local computer to the remote 

system (web server) or vice versa, you need to create a connection between the two 

systems.  Once this is done, it takes just a few seconds to transfer the files.  

The instructions below walk you through the procedure for your first connection to 

the web server.  It is not uncommon to create this connection after you have begun 

creating a website.  If you manage multiple websites you will want to create a sepa 

rate connection for each website.

If you have assumed management or editorial duties of an existing website, you can 

create the FTP connection and then transfer the files from the remote system to your 

local computer so that you begin editing them.
