What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
If you're just attempting to test your website's appearance and function without uploading the files to your web host, you can use your computer's built-in FTP function to temporarily host the website. Your website will go down as soon as your computer loses connection to the Internet or turns off. Before you can upload your website, you'll need to know your username, password, and website address for your hosting service's FTP server. This can usually be found in the "FTP" section of the hosting service's dashboard. If your web host doesn't support FTP, you'll need to use the web host's control panel instead. Click and drag across the files you want to upload, then press Ctrl+C. Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Type in this pc, then click This PC at the top of the Start menu. Do the following: Click the Computer tab in the top-left corner of the window. Click Add a network location, then click Next twice. Enter your hosting service's FTP address, then click Next. Uncheck the "Log on anonymously" box, then enter your FTP username and click Next. Enter a name for the network, click Next, and click Finish. When prompted, type in the password which was listed on your hosting service's FTP page. In most cases, this is your hosting account password. Double-click the "public_html", "root", "index", or similar folder in the main section of the hosting folder. If you don't know which folder is supposed to house your website's files, check your website host's FTP page for specific instructions. Click a blank space in the folder, then press Ctrl+V to paste the files into the folder. In your computer's web browser, go to your website's domain address. As long as your website's files have finished uploading to your website's FTP folder, your website should be live.
Understand when to use this method. Find your hosting service's FTP information. Copy your website files. Open Start . Open This PC. Create a new FTP folder. Enter your password. Open the server folder. Paste in your website's files. Access your website.
