In order for your streaming audio to be heard by anyone you will have to upload your files to your web server. This involves using an ftp program. Your web design software may include one but if not there are plenty of free ftp programs available to download or Internet Explorer can be used to upload your files to your website. FileZilla is a free, FTP client for Windows that works well and the price is right. You can do all of the things you need to do such as, upload and download files, as well as resume uploads or downloads. Each program is a little different but they all work about the same. You will need to connect to your server using the ftp address your hosting company gave you. You will also need to enter your user name and password again supplied by your hosting company. When you click the connect button you should see something showing you are now connected. Once you have successfully connected you will see one side of the program will show all your files on your computer. The other side will show your web site. Select the files you want to upload and click the upload button. The upload button may be an arrow. You should see the files being transferred and the program will tell you when it is done. Make sure you upload the following files: Swf file
Mp3 file (some programs require this and some do not)
