ftp = file transfer protocol

if you have a webspace, then it came with ftp to upload the files

do you have server space that u pay for or your personal comp?

I'm not sure i don't pay so my personal computer i suppose shall i get a screenshot of it for you…?

do you understand what a server is? once you've built your website you need to either have your computer connected to the internet and set up as a server, or upload your files for your website to a server using FTP. Spaces on such servers can be bought from hosting companies. Sorry if you knew this already, just trying to work out wherre you are at with this.

ok

the only way to view a website is by setting up your mac for viewing on the web. you can do this in System Preferences > Sharing and check Personal Web Sharing

then you can export locally to your sites folder. then find out what your ip address is [you can use the application Network Utility in the Utilities folder of the Applications folder] and type that into your browser. to view the specific site in YOUR sites folder just type the ip address then add /~YOURUSERNAME where YOURUSERNAME is your user name
