How do I upload the Flash file to my Host?

[monterey_tip]

I've got the images and flash in a file and was able to play it by opening the flash file on my internet explorer, but how do I upload it to my Godaddy hosting site. I tried Filezilla FTP client, but wasn't sure of the settings. I just want to be able to link from my other website to open the pano. I also tried the Flashificator mentioned in another thread, but need a little help with the next step. I assume I have to upload the whole file with the FTP to include the images and other files, right?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have it on my Godaddy host, but can't seem to access it. I uploaded the flashificator file. :confused:

You need to upload exactly the files you have offline to view the pano. So: Your image/images (depending if you use a stripe, cubes, MOV...), the pano.swf and, if you use one, your xml file. Basically, just put up the whole folder that you use offline. Have a look in the HTML-tutorial that comes with FPP, and you'll see what is needed. Regards, Ph.

Exactly what phberlin said.

Since you used Flashificator, you just upload the whole project folder from the "My Panoramas" folder in your "My Documents" folder.

That folder contains everything that is needed. Nothing more, nothing less.

Best of luck.

Thanks guys. I've gotten that far. I have the file on the host, I just can't figure out how to get the web address to access it. I'm going to call Godaddy when the support lines aren't as full.

Some hosting companies run servers that do not support file extentions written with capital letters.

If the picture files you use are named:

MyPano_f.JPG
MyPano_r.JPG

etc. you should try and change the file extention to:

MyPano_f.jpg
MyPano_r.jpg

The full version of Flashificator automatically changes the file extention to non-capital lettered version to avoid such tideous problems.

If this is not the reason for you being unable to access your pano.... then I sure hope you will get Godaddy to sort it out for you.

Thanks Tuddi,
I'll let you know what happens. Once I get past this, I plan on creating and uploading a lot of panos. I stitched them in the cube format.

I got one working. According to Godaddy support, I had to change the name of the HTML file to "index.html

I just want to use this domain and hosting for storing an linking my panos, so I need to figure out how to index multiple files for this purpose. Godaddy also had me open the pano file and put it in the main directory.

I'm kind of new to the hosting part and indexing the files, so if you guys have any input or can point me in the right direction...that would be great.
