How do I make a webpage using FTP?

Question

I created a text file in html language, saved it as test.html, and uploaded it to my website using FTP. How do I make it a live page on my website? Also, how do I choose the URL for the page?

Currently all my website pages end with .asp, I'm not sure if that chances anything.

Thanks,

If you've uploaded the website file through FTP, it is live on your website.

To view the live URL go to the domain and then the directory (if you put it in one), then the file name.

So an example is: http://yourdomain.com/directory/test.html

To change the URL to the file, you can rename the file to something like 'about.html' and if you want you can put it into folders (web directories). So it could look something like this:

http://yourdomain.com/personal/about.html

.asp is specifying the programming language. If you don't know what this is or how to use it, just stick with using the .html ending.

it needs to be http://yourwebsite.com/index.html. You need the index.html page, which is the homepage format.

After changing the file name, re-upload it to your site. should be live. You do have hosting, I'm assuming, correct?
