It will then pop up a screen for a few seconds and say this.

Hit OK and it's done.
Next go to the Start button as shown below
to open the program.
You will see this screen.
It will not have the profile name listed as TCA Express... Just click
on NEW and fill it in like the example
above.
Please DO NOT have Anonymous
checked!!! Also the User ID is you username with
TCA lowercase and please don't put the @tcaexpress.net in there. Then put
in the correct password.
After this hit OK, it will then log you
in.
This is the left side of the
screen.
This is your hard drive.... As you can see the location is in the
Program Files directory. You need to change to the directory that
you images are located in. Simply click the little green arrow
located near the top of window. The easiest way to find your stuff
is to go all the way to C:\ and then go to the correct
folder.
This is the right side of the
screen.
Your screen will look similar to this except for the public_html
directory listed. YOU NEED THIS!!!!!
This is how you create it!!!
Hit this button!!
This screen will appear.
Enter the information as listed above EXACTLY
and hit OK.
It will then appear in the main box.
Now double click upon the public_html listing. It
will take you to that area.
Now that we are at this point I shall show you a neat
trick!!!
At the bottom bar of the WSFTP window there are some
buttons.
As you can see the Options buttons is what I want
to talk about.
Once you click on the Options button this screen
will appear.
Now if you have the correct directories chosen in the
above steps i.e. the images folder on the hard drive and the public_html
on the right side remote system. Hit the red highlighted button.
The next time that you open the software the folders that
you had up this time will come right back. Note... YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS EVER AGAIN!!!! Hit OK.
Now to send files up to the system so people can see
them!!
In the middle of the two windows is the upload and
download buttons.
 |
This is the download button,
it sends files INTO you computer!! |
This is the upload button the
one that you use to SEND files to us.
This is the one that you will use!!!!! |
So to send files you
simply click ONCE on the index.html on the left box and then click the
arrow shown in green above. BOOM!! The file is uploaded!!!
Now the hard part... Finding the picture online.
Open the browser like Internet Explorer or Netscape.
Then type in this http://www.tcaexpress.net/~username
The wavy line thing is called the tilde' and located on the key to the
left of the number 1 on the top of the
keyboard.

Please replace the username with your username.
NOTE!!!! The case of the file that
you send up is sensitive.
If you upload a file named Whatever.JPG
or INDEX.HTML and type in whatever.jpg
or index.html in the
address it sill not show up. You must have that the same. I always
suggest that people have all the file names in lowercase.
That's IT!!!!
Congratulations!!!!!!! |
