(KazTrix FTP)
The KazTrix Upload Utility (or FTP application) is a program that allows you to transfer your files to your web-site (or to any computer running an FTP server). Use this application after you have created the files necessary for publishing your database to the web. Of course the KazTrix FTP application can also be used to transfer files for other uses as well! Unlike many other FTP applications, you do not have to select "binary" or "ascii" format when uploading or downloading files, instead, the KazTrix Upload Utility automatically knows which type to select. The KazTrix Upload Utility also knows which files KazTrix Web Ready uses to publish to the web and will display only those files (as long as the "KazTrix files" option is selected on the main screen of the upload utility).
The main screen looks like this:
1. Select "Connect" to begin. You will be prompted for the ftp address of your web-site as well as your password and user name. These must be assigned to you before you can have access to the other computer.
2. Select the drive in which your files are located (if you access the Upload Utility from the KazTrix WEB Wizard this will be selected for you).
3. Highlight the files on the source system (your hard drive).
4. Transfer the files using the "upload" button located between the listboxes.
Notes:
· Click on the "upload" button to transfer files from the local to the remote system.
· Click on the "download" button to transfer files from the remote to the local system.
· File uploads and downloads may timeout, if this happens you will have to reconnect.
· If you want to preview a picture or text before you upload it, highlight the file and click "view."
· Multiple files can be selected by holding down the "Ctrl" key and using the mouse to highlight various files.
· The KazTrix FTP application will remain open until you close it via the "exit" command.
Uploading KazTrix Files with Other Applications
When uploading files with an FTP utility OTHER THAN that provided with KazTrix, make sure you follow the following guidelines:
1. All files with the extensions .txt, .dat and .html should be uploaded in ASCII format
2. All files with the extensions .jpg and .class should be uploaded in BINARY format (media files and applications as well).
3. The file KazTrix.class (the online database engine) must be uploaded retaining its original text case (case sensitive). In other words, if this file appears on the remote server as KazTrix.class or KazTrix.class it will not work.
4. The KazTrix Upload Utility recognizes which files it needs to upload. Therefore, if you use another FTP utility, we recommend saving the "published" files into an empty directory on your hard drive so you don't get mixed up as to which files KazTrix Web Ready needs.
After uploading your files either with the KazTrix Upload Utility (or on your own), simply point your browser to yourdatabasename.html to view it.
