I need to stop here for hand spray Suppliers a moment and talk to you about storing your files. That is, where you put them. You want to get it right the first time! Otherwise link propagation will drive you nuts.

Here’s that scenario. You name and upload a file. The file is up there on your server for all the world to access via the web. That name you gave it is part of it’s URL, which stands for Uniform Resource Locator but I just think of it as it’s “address”.

Then you'll go out and advertise that URL to the world. You put it in emails. You’ll put it in blog posts. It will be on other web pages. It’ll get around!

Here’s the nugget. If you ever, for some reason, need to change the files URL, there will be a bunch of dead links out there and they are YOUR links! You’ll never find them all.

So, that said, we have one other little thing to do before we can upload Nvu files with Cyberduck. That is that we have to know our website “code” names and insert those into Cyberduck. Otherwise Cyberduck will “fail to make connection” and won’t upload.

I had to call my hosts help staff to find those names but once I did everything was a go and your FTP will remember the codes so you don’t have to! These things are called “FTP Settings” and they usually reside in your Web Hosting Account Details. These details will be “Host” like ftp.my_internet_marketing.com Also included will be your user ID and password.

There’s one other thing that will simplify your life a bit and that is “folders”. They are often referred to as “Subdirectories”. If I am uploading multiple dozens of files that make up an entire website I always upload it as a whole, in a folder. This is easy and it’s crucial. Simply upload the file batch in it’s folder named “trafficity”. (example for this article)
