Configuring WS_FTP Win 95/98/NT for Imagen access to a site other than your own

This page last updated on 11/15/00 Support Home Page

If you don't have WS_FTP you can download it from here

You will only be able to connect through FTP to those directories that you have explicitly requested access to.  Typically you will only have access to the FTP directories of those web sites which you are administering.

Step 1:  Connect to Imagen

The first step is to connect to Imagen through your regular dialup connection.

 

Step 2:  Open WS_FTP

The default location for starting WS_FTP is Start, Programs, Ws_ftp and then WS_FTP.

 

Step 3:  Add Site

Under Profile Name enter a name that will make it easy for you to identify this configuration, in this case Trading Post.  Under Host Name/Address enter the domain name of your web site.  If your web site address is www.imagenisp.com/test then you would enter imagenisp.com.  Under User ID enter your username.  Under Password enter your password.  Also make sure to check the Save Pwd box.  Click Startup at the top of the window.

Add Site

 

Step 3:  Initial Remote Host Directory

The only field that you will need to fill out here,  is the Initial Remote Host Directory.  In the field enter a / followed by the username of the individual who owns the web site, of the FTP directory that you are trying to access.  In this case, tradingpost.   Click OK.

Initial Remote Host Directory

 

Step 4:  Connect to Imagen

If everything was entered correctly you will get a window similar to the one below.  On the left side is the directory structure of your computer and on the right you will find the directory structure of the FTP site you accessed.  If you have any problems please verify that you have entered the proper information in the previous step.
