Upload

Summary
FTP - Upload your files with a FTP client.
Browser - You can upload and create your site online with your web browser.
Email - Email your files to them and they will add your files to your directory.
FP - FrontPage server extensions installed for you to upload your files with FrontPage.

You can upload files to a free webspace provider's server with a FTP-client (for example WSFTP for Windows or Fetch for Mac) or you could upload files with your web browser. FTP = File Transfer Protocol. I prefer to upload with a FTP-client since you will be able to upload all your files intstantly. With most browser uploads you need to specify the name for each file you upload and can only upload 1-10 files at a time. This makes browser upload much slower than when you use a FTP-client.

Some providers can only receive your files if you email the files to them. It's very time consuming to upload files manually via email. This means that the provider will only let you update your homepage via email one or two times per month... A few services offer to accept your files via Mirabilis pager ICQ, but this solution has the same problems as email upload.

If you use Frontpage to create your website, some free web hosts have FrontPage server extensions installed which will make it easier for you to maintain your site.
