How to Create Web Folders

Web folders are also directories.

It's a good idea to create different folders on the Web to keep certain files and programs separate for ease of navigation and to share different folders with different people. Creating a folder on the Web is simple, and each folder is then viewable online as a directory under your website. Creating Web folders can be done in many different ways, but one of the easiest ways is to simply create the folder in software you already use.

Things You'll Need

• FTP program

Instructions

1. Open the software that you use to upload your Web pages to your website. If you have a Web page, you either create pages in a Web program and then upload the pages through that program or a separate FTP program. FTP stands for file transfer protocol, and most Web page creation software has built in FTP software.

2. Create the Web folder by creating a new folder on your computer. Go to the location on your computer where you have your website files. Right click in an open area and choose "New folder." Name the folder what you want.

3. Find the folder in your FTP or Web editing software by looking in the file window. Select the folder and click the arrow or upload button to upload it to the website.
