Set up CuteFTP Pro
Talk to your host or ISP. You need to get:
- The web server name or IP address
- The folder name where to place your site root
- The required file name for your home page (index.html, default.html, etc.)
- Your login ID and password
Set up the site connection in CuteFTP Pro
On CuteFTP's menu, select File, New, FTP site (or press CTRL+N). Set up your new connection as follows:
|
General tab: Enter a Label for your new connection, and set the Host address, user name and password.
|
|
|
Type tab: you can usually leave these settings as default.
|
|
|
Actions tab: it can be useful to set the remote folder and local folder options. Setting these default locations saves you some extra mouse-clicks when you are ready to upload your site files.
- Your host company will tell you the correct folder location for your homepage.
- The local folder will usually be: x:\NetObjects Fusion 7\User Sites\yoursite\Local Publish
DO NOT CHANGE the setting for When Uploading, Preserve Case!

Global options
|
Use Tools, Global Options to set up rules for uploading.
- Setting up a Rule to over-write files that are different makes sure that your online site gets all the files needed and the most current versions of the files for the page(s) to render properly.

Remove from the queue after successful completion is a good one to set also...(thanks to Turtle for that suggestion)
