you will need to set up a profile on your ftp client, giving the profile a name
enter the ftp address we supply
enter your username
enter your password
click connect
you will now see the files on the server (usually the root folder followed by a folder named www)
the www folder is where you will upload your web pages to.
there will be another folder named private, this folder will be where you could put your database files
they cannot be opened or downloaded from here except by you, although you can still run asp scripts to access the database (s)
