This WS_FTP configuration tutorial shows how to setup WS_FTP for your OfficeOnWeb account. To configure WS_FTP, follow the simple instructions below.

Each time you run WS_FTP, the Session Properties window will be displayed. A profile contains the information needed to connect to your web site. Creating a profile now will eliminate the need for you to configure the software each time you wish to connect to the web server via FTP.

Open WS_FTP.   If the "Session Properties" dialog box does not automatically appear, click on the "Connect" button in the lower left hand corner of the WS_FTP window.

We will use the example of an account with OfficeOnWeb with the following account info:

Domain name:  xyz.com

Userid:  abcdefg

In the "Session Properties" dialog box, choose the "General" tab.

Then click on the "New" button.

Fill in the boxes as follows:

Profile Name:  xyz.com - OfficeOnWeb account

Host Name/Address:  xyz.com

Host Type:  UNIX (standard)

User ID:  abcdefg

Then click on "Apply".

Now, click on the "Startup" tab.

Make sure that the box labeled, "Initial Remote Host Directory" remains empty.

Then click on "Apply" again.
