Prepare your site

Before you upload a FAQ to your web site, you'll need to do a little preparation.

Create a folder on your site just for your FAQ. If you plan on maintaining more than one FAQ with Friday, create a folder for each FAQ. Never try to combine multiple FAQs in a single folder, either on your local hard drive or on your web site.

You'll also need to find out the following information and enter it in Friday's Settings dialog box:

• The default index page file name for your site. Your webmaster or ISP can help you with this. Use Friday's Settings dialog box to enter this default index page name as the Main FAQ File. Usually it'll be "index.htm", "index.html", "default.asp" or the like.
• The ftp site where you'll upload your files. Usually this is yourname.com or ftp.yourname.com (no http:// or www. or ftp:// in front of it)
• The path to your FAQ folder
• Your user name and password

Without this information, Friday can't upload your files for you. If you don't have permission to do the uploading yourself, you'll have to send all the files in the HTML directory of your FAQ to someone who can upload them for you.

Whenever you make changes to the Settings dialog, you should click Create to regenerate HTML before you upload your FAQ to the web.
