First of all, you will need to go to www.bravenet.com and create

a site.  You will need to establish a sign on name and a password.  The sign on name will get you into the site.  you will also need to choose a site name

and password.  i use the same ones, for convenience sake and so that i don't forget it. 

 

Now, let's get into the file manager.....

go to the bravenet main page and sign in.....

look for this box in the upper right hand corner

 

 

 

That will take you to the member's area page

where you will see this,

 

 

Here is where you would edit your accout info, or

click on website hosting link which you will find....

directly underneath your member info box. 

That will take you to this page.....

 

 

Click on the link to get to your old file manger.

 

Once you get to this point,  you are almost to the file manager.....

 

 The example you are seeing is only a portion of the page.  Under Create/Build Your Site you would click on HTML File Manager. 

This will take you to the file manager (webshell) where you can

upload your files, edit your html documents, etc.

 

 

This is the File Manager Page for Bravenet.  It is a good idea to

bookmark your file manager page.  The bookmark will take you

directly into your file manager. 

 

<!-- Begin Bravenet.com Button Link -->
<a href="http://www.bravenet.com/" target="_top">
<img src="http://images.bravenet.com/pub/bravepride.gif"
height=52 width=102 border=0 alt="Bravenet.com"></a>
<!-- End Bravenet.com Button Link -->

 

Once inside the file manager you will see a place to make your

directory folders and pages....You can edit, rename, move, copy or

delete to the right of each file.  The space at the top tells you which folder, if any you are in and lets you change with a simple dropdown.  All in all, the manager is easy to follow.  Think of it as your stationery file on the web.  Everything you want to be able to see on the internet goes into the file manager including backgrounds, music files, images, and the html document that pulls them all together.

 

Further down on the previous page under Administer Your Site,

you can click on Account info to change any info on there or verify

that what you have is correct.  Also in this section you can click on

Website Tool and gain access to adding a guestbook, hit counters and

other useful tools for your site.

 

 

 

Now you have access to the many areas on your bravenet site....

There is also one other link you should know about. 

Bravenet allows you to use your FTP (WS_FTP, Cute FTP, etc.)

to upload your files quickly and easily to your site. 

Click on the link for FTP Tutorial and the information you

need for FTP use will be given there. 

I use it alot, make backing up your site so easy to do.

 

I hope that you have found some useful information here.

Good Luck with your site !

 

 

Hugs,

 

Karen
