How do I edit our company’s web page if I don’t have the website (index.html) file on my computer?

January 20th, 2010 | by admin |

Our company had another business here in town create our website, but they are no longer in business. We want to update our site, but how do I go about doing that without having the original file(s) on our computer? I know the ftp site, but that’s about all!

Any help at all would be great!

Hi,

It’s quite an easy task. – But admittedly, it can be quite daunting if your not really into all that.

You need a program that you can access your FTP with, something like CuteFTP is perfect. Alternatively, use dreamweaver’s FTP settings.

Once you have the sites FTP details (Username + password) you will need to download the whole site onto your computers. (when I say whole site, i mean everything that resides in what is usually called the ‘public’ folder. Or sometimes ‘content’.

Once you have that, you can made the changes to the html pages, and then replace your new pages over their older counterparts.

I’m an online marketing exec myself so I do this all the time. – If you need any more help, just comment and I’ll be able to help…

    you need to log into the server that is hosting your companies site.
    you will need the username and password.

    If you are able to log into the FTP you can download the public_html (or htm) files. in that folder you will find all the files to the web page
