Download CoffeeCup

• Download CoffeeCup Free FTP from http://twmba.net/files/Windows/Ftp/ .
  It downloads as a .zip file, so you'll also need WinZip (available at the same place) to decompress it.
• Install CoffeeCup, launch the program, and add a new server (Servers > Add New Server). The window for adding a new FTP Server looks like this:

• Carefully fill in the server information:
  • Name: this is what's displayed in the Servers Menu. It doesn't matter what you enter here.
  • Hostname: this is the address of your web server.
    ie. twmba.net
  • You will need to enter a Username and Password. They should be the same as your email account username and password.
  • Local Starting Directory: this is a folder on your hard drive where you'll be saving web stuff before porting it to the server (consider it a backup folder).
  • Remote Starting Directory: this is the name of your folder on the server (as illustrated above, leave it blank).
  • Checking the Firewall Friendly operation (Passive Mode) box, may help performance.

• Uploading and Downloading
  • Click on the "Servers" menu and select one of the sites you have set up.
  • This connects you to the internet web page server.
  • On the left side of the window are the contents of your local computer ("Local Starting Directory" in the setup illustration above).
  • On the right side of the window are the contents of your assigned directory on the internet web page server.
  • NOTE : When creating web documents in some word processors (e.g. Word), it's necessary to close the file (File Menu > Close) or you might get an error message "Unable to open local file..." when attempting to upload file.
  • Dragging something from the local computer side to the web server side copies the item onto the web server. Once there, the file is accessible from the Internet with a web browser.
  • Be sure to keep earlier generations of your work backed up on the hard drive of your own computer.
