Providing FTP access information

At this step you determine how the files will be uploaded to your website. There are three possible ways: uploading by FTP, uploading manually or referring to local files in case you have a local directory on your computer corresponding to your web directory.

•	Select 'FTP' from the 'Publishing method' drop-down box if you have FTP access to the website. Enter your FTP access information: FTP Host name and path, username and password.

Note:

you need to distinguish between absolute path to the monitored site and relative path. The absolute path is a path that contains the root directory and all other sub directories required to get into the target directory (for example, /u/user/public_html/collector). A relative path is only a portion of the absolute path (for example, public_html/collector).

Select the 'relative to user directory' check box to enter relative path to the collector (for example, public_html/collector). Leave the check box empty to enter absolute path (for example, /u/user/public_html/collector). You also may need to select or leave empty the 'Passive mode' check box. The web directory usually has one of the following names: public_html, httpdocs, htdocs, html, mainwebsite_html or wwwroot. You can obtain the exact web directory name from your hosting provider.

Click Next and the installation wizard will upload the collector files to your web server using the FTP details which you have specified.

•	Select 'Local files' and click 'Browse' to select the local directory which corresponds to your web directory.

Click Next and the installation wizard will use the collector files located in the directory which you have specified.

•

Select 'Manual', create a folder on your website (e.g. "collector"), upload the file sns.zip from the 'var' directory of your Sales-n-Stats installation to the website and unpack into that folder. Using a browser, open the install.php script located in the collector folder (e.g. http://your-host/collector/install.php) and follow the instructions on the screen.
