Sign in to your account, select the Media Files tab and then click the Upload button. Then click the Browse button and find the Podcast file that you want to upload. Then click Load File and the Podcast will be uploaded to your account. Uploading Your Podcast to a Web Host with FTP.
If you're using power web or another web hosting service then you will use FTP to upload your file. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a method for transferring files to the web. The easiest way to FTP a file is to use a program such as Smart FTP that makes it pretty much as easy as dragging and dropping files between folders on your desktop. To FTP files to your web site, you will need to find out four things from your web host: FTP Address: This is the address that you type into your FTP program to tell it where to connect and transfer the files to. It will probably be something like ftp.yourwebsite.com.FTP Username: To FTP you'll need a username and password to login and access the FTP address for your site.
| Bit of History |
The Cairo conference ... is about a complicated web of education and employment, consumption and poverty, development and health care. It is also about whether governments will follow where women have so clearly led them, toward safe, simple and reliable choices in family planning. While Cairo crackles with conflict, in the homes of the world the orthodoxies have been duly heard, and roundly ignored.

FTP Password: The password that goes with the username to login for FTP access to your site. Home Directory: This is the directory where your web site is stored. When you log in using the address, username and password, you'll probably see a few different directories. One of them contains files and more directories for your web site. Unfortunately different hosts name the home directory different things. The directory you want will most probably be called htdocs, httpdocs, html, public_html, or www. You can ask your web host tech support for this information or look for the directory that contains a file called index.html. That is file for your homepage.
When you signed up for your web hosting account, you probably received these four pieces of information in a welcome e-mail. If not, contact your host's web tech support and ask them for the FTP information that you need. When you connect to your web site and browse into the home directory of your site, creating a folder for storing the Podcast files in. This will keep your web site files organized. On sites created a folder called mp3s inside the httpdocs folder. The mp3s folder is where to store Podcast files. The Getting Started and Upload – Direct tutorials will help you in uploading podcasts to your web site using Smart FTP.Here are a few definitions that will also be useful. Local Host: This is your personal that you are uploading from. Local Directory/Path: This is the directory on your personal computer where the file to be uploaded is located. Remote Host: This is the computer or web server where you are uploading your file.
Remote Directory/Path: This is the directory on the remote host/computer where you are uploading the file. Binary vs. ASCII: These are two different modes for transferring files with FTP. You have to specify if you are transferring a text file (ASCII mode) or another program file (binary mode). You want to transfer MP3s in binary mode or the file will get messed up in the transfer. Fortunately Smart FTP can usually detect automatically which mode to use. This is pretty much a basic system, many people will find it daunting at first, yet you will get accustomed to it relatively quickly. By knowing what you want before you start, you make the process all that much quicker as well. Get a plan, and good luck on your first Podcast.
