Do I need FileZilla?
Posted: 2019-03-24 19:07
This should incite lots of laughs.
I have an old web site created with Front Page and I used to publish (make additions and changes) through FP then publish. I never used FTP.
Years have gone by and the site is very outdated. I've been sick in bed and technology passed me by. Now, I cannot figure out any of this.
It's hosted with GoDaddy and I explained to them when Microsoft stopped supporting extensions, I couldn't update my site anymore. They said switch to another builder, such as Wordpress or Wix. Yeah, no kidding but I can't do it and tried. I'm not up an able enough to mess with it all.
I also paid a few people - friends of friends to build a new site and none followed through.
So I am left with ftp and have no idea how. GoDaddy sent me a link that explains using FileZilla.
I'm lost. Its all like speaking another language but it needs to be done - 5 years ago actually.
Can anyone please in simple steps instruct me?
Do I have to first download FileZilla on my computer? and do I really have to? (no offense FileZilla) Or can I just login to my GoDaddy acct and bring files over, then do edits and publish?
I already know I need to get rid of the Front Page and use something else, I've tried. Right now I just need to make some quick changes. Please help! Thank you.
