After you download images onto your web web pages, you will need to upload your images and files to a server. Before you upload all your files, do the following:

Now, test all your web pages in different browsers...they are "free" to download. (Note: Before downloading, check requirements for your operating system):

Mozilla Firefox
Internet Explorer
Netscape Navigator

You can upload your files and images through your web hosting service using a File Manager program that is located in a control panel...just follow the instructions after you login to your web host account.

If a File Manager program is not available through your web host, you will need to transfer your files using an FTP client program (File Transfer Protocol).  An FTP client program is used to transfer your web pages (files) from your computer...it allows you to connect to a server on your web hosting account.  You will need your login information and website name that was issued by your web host to connect you to where you will upload your web pages and other files.

For "Windows", you will need a file named: index.html
For "Linux", you will need a file named: index.php
