Hello,
The below is taken from John Wilson's Excellent set of notes regarding FTP
Explorer: http://web.onetel.net.uk/~fromthekeyboard/freeftp.htm
The notes and user instructions given below should assist any visually
impaired user of the free FTP Explorer software in its use and may prove to
be helpful
information for any would-be users of the software when deciding if this
program is likely to be suitable for their needs. It is not an example of my
purchasable
tutorials, which are much more in-depth than this and take the user
step-by-step and blow-by-blow through the use of the relevant software.
FTP EXPLORER 1.0
General
FTP Explorer is free for downloading and use at home by individuals. FTP
stands for File Transfer Protocol. After you have created your Web pages on
your
hard disk, you will have to find a method of making them available to
others. This could be via a domain of your own running from your own
computer or
it could simply be space on your ISPs server, which you may obtain free or
at a monthly or annual charge. An ISP which provides 10 Mb of free server
space
for you to create your own Website is Onetel but there are many other
choices. The below provides basic details about using FTP Explorer in
relation to
keeping your Website on your ISPs server.
You can download FTP Explorer from:
http://www.ftpx.com
It's simple to use with a screenreader and is only about a 800 Kb download.
Set-Up and Protocols
1. Installation of FTP Explorer is the normal Windows style and you will
also have to provide several pieces of information before you can use FTP
Explorer.
Some of these will be of your own choosing and others you may have to
contact your site provider to obtain. These are:
A. The host address, which is the address of your provider's server, e.g.
ftp.onetel.net.uk.
B. A password of your own choosing.
C. A login username, which is likely to be of your own choosing.
D. The "Initial Path" is any sub-directory off of the ISP server's root
directory which you may wish to be taken straight to instead of going to the
root
first and then having to navigate to your own sub-directory where your html
files are kept, e.g. /fromthekeyboard. But you do not have to do things in
this way if you do not want, as you can simply leave this field blank and
always land on the root directory/folder of your Website if you prefer.
Uploading and Downloading Files
2. You use FTP Explorer by:
A. After setting up your password, login name and other protocols, etc, when
you first launch FTP Explorer from the shortcut on your Desktop, you will be
taken into the profiles, settings, etc, dialogue and you can just press
ENTER or ALT C to go online and connect to your ISP. If this does not happen
for
you, you can simply press CONTROL N to open the above dialogue to go online.
B. After logging on, you will be in the first of three windows, which is the
tree view window where you can arrow up and down folders and open them if
your
site has more than one folder set up on it. If you then press TAB you get to
the second window which has the list of individual files in it, which you
can arrow up and down and right and left in and view your individual .HTM or
.HTML files and other files, such as video and sound files, e.g. index.htm,
readme.htm, introsound.wav, etc. If you then press TAB again to the third
window, which is an information log file window, this will tell you if your
log
on has been successful, if your files have been displayed OK, if your
uploads have succeeded, etc.
C. When on your Website on your ISPs server (or anyone else's FTP Website),
pressing ENTER on any .htm or other file will open a download dialogue and
allow
you to download it to your specified download directory, e.g. c:\website/,
in my case. You can also effect downloads by pressing ALT F, W or ALT f, T.
D. To upload a single or multiple files, put focus on the folder or
sub-folder on the ISP server where you want the files to go to and then
press ALT F,
U. So, to upload to my site, I would remain in the first window where the
tree view is and upload whilst in that view--you do not go to the files view
in the second window to do this.
E. An upload dialogue will open where you can type the path to a single
filename in or browse to it or several files to highlight for uploading.
After selecting
the files, TAB to "Open" and press ENTER. The page(s) or file(s) should only
take a second or two to upload. That's it!
F. If you wish to delete any given file on your Website, you just go to it
in window two and press the DELETE key followed by Y to confirm. You would
be
best deleting such files in this way before uploading new replacement files.
G. To end the session and come offline, press ALT T (for Tools) and then D
(for Disconnect), or to simply cancel a current download press ALT T, C. You
can also find files you know the names of via the Tools menu, "Find" feature
and there is also a "Goto" option as well.
Configuration Tips
1. If FTP Explorer is not displaying the way you or your screenreader would
like, experiment in the several menus to see what works best for you, e.g.
press
ALT V (for View) and try changing the display from "Large Icons" to "Small
Icons or vis- versa ", changing to "List" or "Details" displaying of file
information,
changing "Arrange Icons" from "Auto Arrange" to such as by "Name" or by
"Type", etc.
2. Do not forget the many option changes which can always be made in a
program's Options property sheets, i.e. press ALT V (for View, O (for
Options) and
then TAB and CONTROL TAB through the on/off options and selection lists and
the six separate sheets in here to make any fine-tuning choices for
yourself.

Mark

Subject: [access-uk] uploading webb pages
Hi all
I have created some webb pages that I would like to upload to plusnet
as I have free space with them.
Looking for some instructions as to how to do this. I understand I need
an ftp client so which ones are good with speech and how do I get the
pages transferred?
Thanks
