I’m trying to install Wordpress templates…I have a third party server…do I need to use their ftp site ?
Thursday, October 22nd, 2009I have a free template downloaded, ready to install to my site, which is hosted by a third party server. I have FileZilla on my laptop. Do I need to transfer the template files from my FileZilla or go through the third party’s FTP site to upload the templates ?
The best way to upload and or modify web files (templates in your case) is to use a web page editor. I prefer dreamweaver as do many other people.
Dreamweaver and other html editors has a built in ftp manager that lets you upload, download files as you work on them. If you want to start with the basics, try FrontPage.
You may also use third party FTP clients as well such as:
WS_FTP
Cute_FTP
or web based FTP clients such as what our company has on the website demo
( http://www.fiberftp.com/ftp_client/fiberftp/index.html )
that will allow you to transfer the files to and from your web server.
