[user1m]

I need help. I want to upload my template on freewebs, but don't know how to. Will someone plz help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cyberquest]

I signed on with freewebs today under a FREE account to have a look..

Here is the result using a freewebsitetemplate

I am going to assume you have a FREE account as well...

The first time you sign on and create an account, The next step is picking a free template from Freewebs. You'll need to bypass this to upload something else you like.

At the very top right hand corner you'll see a field for search.. it reads (SEARCH ALL TEMPLATES) dirrectly under this field you'll notice it says to CLICK HERE if you want to upload or build own. Click there and go to the next step.

Once you get there select - BUILD AND EDIT <-- it in the top left hand corner

You are now on the SITE MANAGER page

- scroll down and you'll see two horizontal menu's

The first is Upload Tools

the second being - File Manager

The very first thing you should do is create an IMAGES folder in the File Manager. Here is where all your images go... with out this folder they won't work.. - they didn't for me anyway -

The File manager has buttons that go the width of the page that read
All files | web pages | Images | Media | other | search

Under this menu look for - add a page - add a folder and click on add a folder then type images in the field and click save..

there are a few ways to get your files uploaded holding a free account on freewebs

1) upload each file individually " which is what I did "

2) send your files in email...

It didn't take to long to upload the files one by one but there werent that many. I had one problem with the header image... ( the psd ) freewebs would not accept it.. heres the error
Error: Posted content length of 1166903 exceeds limit of 76800

You might ask for help with the psd image here on the forums but if you can't get an answer with a result you could try a google on it - there are several free image services

To up load your files using the single file uploder go to the Up Load Tools area and and click on ( single file uploader ) a window pops up. upload your index.html and css file with out a selection. select the images folder created to save your images only.

Notice that the index.html in your file manager is named index.htm to make the page your home page change index.htm to index.html in your file manager.. It tells you how there...

This should be enough to get you started.. I'll check back and see how you're doing. Hopefully this wasn't confusing to you

To upload by email -

Email Your Files to Freewebs
What it is
You can now email image files as attachments, straight to your Freewebs account. Maybe someone sent you a bunch of pictures from a trip, or files for a class...simply forward those (as instructed below) and they'll appear in your Freewebs account.
What you need
There are only two things you need to email files into your account:
1) The email address: save@freewebs.com.
2) A verified Freewebs account. This means you have verified your primary email address in the My Account section.
How it works
1) Send an email with media file attachments to save@freewebs.com.
2) The attached files will automatically upload to your Freewebs account.
3) The files you upload to your account will appear in a folder called Emailed.
4) You'll get a confirmation that the files have been received and stored in your account.

Have more than one Freewebs account? In the Subject line of the email, simply add the username of the account to which you want the files uploaded.
What files are allowed?
Currently, only media files.
Image Files: .jpg, .gif, .png
Audio Files: .wav, .mp3, .midi, .mpeg
Video Files: .mov, .avi, .wmv
Flash Files: .swf
Is there a file size limit?
You can upload up to 10Mb of files at one time, so only attach up to 10Mb of files in each email. Also, remember that you have a storage limit on your account. You can track your webspace usage in the My Account section. If you need additional space, you can upgrade at any time in the Get Premium section of your account.

Hi, I want to upload files to my website so ppl can download them, can any nice person please help me, thx in advance

[ishkey]

Here is a link to my page where files are for download http://www.cleandeck.net/msds.html

Here is my code
<div id="contentarea">
<div id="leftbar">
<h2>MSDS</h2>
<br />
<p><font color="#000000"><font size="4">Wilmar Graphite Inc - 50+ yrs of Excellence.</font></font></p>
<br />
<a href="WaterborneGraphiteLiquid9511X.pdf">MSDS/WaterborneGraphiteLiquid9511X.pdf</a>
<p><font color="#ff0000">CLEANDECK</font> <font color="#000000">Quart Can</font> - Apply with a brush or sprayer for solid base coat. </p>
<br />

or

<a href="https://mywebsite.com/subdirectory/myfile.exe"> Download my file here</a>

All the files for down load are in one directory. All browsers understand the different file extensions, ie; pdf, zip, com, exe, mp3 etc. So when you click on them they will show Do you want to open or save this file?
Vista will give you some extra key strokes.
