Besides being an Internet Browser, Windows Internet Explorer can also be used to upload files to and download files from an FTP server where you have an account. Follow these simple steps to connect to your DANA account to be able to publish your web pages.
To begin, launch (double click) Internet Explorer. Once the window is open put in the following address into the Address window...
...where your_user_id is your DANA UserID. Notice in the image below, mine is "mjb9" so my address is...
Next you will be prompted for your password. Provide your DANA password in the space provided.

Once you've entered the public_html folder, you can upload your files and folders that you want to make available on the Internet.

Once you've created your new folder, double click on it to enter it. You can then drag your files from your local computer to the DANA server, in the same way you would drag a file or folder from one location to another on your computer.
Provided you named your opening page in your folder "index.html" you should be able to view your pages on the Internet by going to the following address...
...where your_user_id is your DANA UserID and the folder_name is what ever you called your folder. Don't forget the ~ before your UserID. For example, if I wanted to view my etc599 folder on my DANA account, my address would be...
