Via FTP

'FTPing' files can be handled in several ways

1, Using windows explorer: in the address bar type ftp://addresstoyoursite  (eg www.dmgi.co.uk).
2, Using a 3rd party piece of software such as bulletproof, filezilla or extension built into programs such as Dreamweaver.
3, Using a command line tool, for more advanced users only.

Once logged in you will be presented with 4 folders: cgi-bin, data,  htdocs and logs.

cgi-bin; where you should place your website scripts.
data; a read write directory not accessible via a browser.
htdocs; the main root of your website this is where your default index.html/php/asp should reside.
logs; This is where your access logs are written to, useful for web statistic analysis.
