I am in trouble , the FTP I am using is WS_FTP Pro , here is the link lead to the download page :
http://www.ipswitch.com/_download/wsftppro.asp
I hosted at this site (Free web hosting) :
http://www.awardspace.com
But I don't know how and where to upload those file in the folder SMF 1.0.8 install even I read the guide " Installing and upgrading " a lot of times.Can you teach me , give me step by step how to do that ? Thank you very much.I am a beginner so it is too hard for me.
There is information on the doc site about installing SMF:
http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?board=2.0
If you don't know how to use an FTP client:
-Look through your hosts FAQs
-Look at this tutorial for Filezilla (a program better than WS_FTP!):http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_FileZilla
Alternatively you can post in Help Available (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=51.0) to see if anyone is willing to install SMF for you.
Sorry , but I don't know where to upload them , can you register an account at the site I hosted and teach me, please.
I got your PM. Unfortunately I am rather busy atm so I don't have time to register lots of hosting accounts.
First of all you need to download Filezilla. WSFTP has some odd querks which I don't want to mess around with. The Filezilla download page is here (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=21558).
Then you need to download the SMF archive from here (http://www.simplemachines.org/download/). It is probably best to download the zip file as XP supports these without downloading anything extra.
When you've done this you need to put the awardspace FTP details into Filezilla. The details can be found in your awardspace members area. There is also a tutorial for using Filezillla here (http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_FileZilla).
Post a reply when you have managed to upload everything to your awardspace account.
I downloaded File Zilla and read the guide how to use it you gave me earlier clearly . I also created a sub-domain at Award Space (http://www.awardspace.com) with user name is Protoman_EXE and password is " Something " and they gave me a path here :
/home/www/protoman
They also said use that path to access my folder. When I tried to use File Zilla to connect to ftp://awardspace.com/home/www/protoman and enter my user name and password (Name is Protoman_EXE and password is " something ") but File Zilla said that the password is incorrect. What is wrong ? Please help me. Thanks.
Make sure you set logontype to normal.
The FTP server name is probably not awardspace.com.
I believe award space uses the <SOMETHING>.awardspace.com method. The <SOMETHING> can be found in your awardspace admin panel.
As for the /home/www/protoman and ftp://, that is not part of the link in Filezilla.
In the servername you just put <SOMETHING>.awardspace.com
