Solve : Urgent Help Required!?

Answer»

I need some help please. I have just taken over our website for the charity I work for and have built a new site through Moonfruit Web Design. I need the domain to take you to the new site now but I have no clue how to do using FTP, can ANYONE help?You will need to set up the FTP account in your "Windows Network Places"
Normall its something like:
ftp://www.mywebsite.com
or
ftp.mywebsite.com
or
ftp://ftp.mywebsite.com

You will need the username and passwordDo you mean that you want one domain to be automatically redirected to another?You need an FTP client, meaning SOFTWARE you install on your computer to upload the web page files from your computer to the web server of your web hosting service. Here's one to consider: SmartFTP
Client (32-bit) 2.5.1005.14


As Zylstra said, You will need the username and password of the hosting service in order to logon to your website on the server. Guys, I don't think this is an FTP issue...Perhaps not, but he did say, "I have no clue how to do using FTP". I re-read his post just now and I'm still not really clear on what his MEANS. And, unless he gets back in here and replies, we won't get that clarification.Quote from: Rob Pomeroy on April 06, 2007, 03:14:05 PM

Do you mean that you want one domain to be automatically redirected to another?

yes

So, the new website will have a different domain name, i.e. web address name, than the old one. Is that right? I think we need to be absolutely clear on this point.

For example, you want www.old-site.org to redirect to www.new-site.org. Right?Quote from: SOYBEAN on April 08, 2007, 01:46:43 PM

That's rightThe simplest method:

Manual redirect

The simplest technique is to ask the visitor to follow a link to the new page:

Please follow link!

For for info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_redirection or http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=URL+redirection&btnG=Google+Search
Why don't you just use a meta refresh tag, something along the lines of this...

Code: [Select]<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.newdomain.com/">
Add the tag to your index/home page, be SURE to change the "0"(in sec) to your prefered time, and the url redirection.
