Hi guys,

I have downloaded zipped script from WeBidSupport....now I don't know what to do next.

How can I open that file and upload it to my hosting ??
I have hosting and domain name, but how can I upload files to that hosting and how can I upload scripts ???

What programs do I need ??


THANKS !!!
 
You need a FTP Client in order to upload files to your webhosting. For instance you can download Filezilla, then set up your account to connect to your server (Host IP/NAME - username - password) and then just drag & drop the files to the public_html folder (depending on your hosting provider). I will recommend you to look for some tutorials on Youtube if it's your fist time. It's actually a really simple task, you will learn fast.

Good luck-
 
Hi, I have filezilla but is there some program where I could open that script and see what's inside. I mean like it will show me the page how it will look like and I can decide what to change ?? THanks
 
You can open and modify it with Notepad++ or any other text editor. In order to do this you should understand the lenguage in which it was coded.

Assuming you have a php script, you can't test it on your computer without a software to use windows as a webhosting server like xampp or appserver. PHP is server-side programming, so you need to place the files in a hosting server to test them. So the process would be the following:

1. Edit the PHP script with NOTEPAD++, then SAVE.
2. Upload the PHP script to your server with Filezilla.
3. Access to your domain.com / server throught your webbrowser.
