Hi BC Mike

First of all in order to use Filezilla or any FTP program you need to setup an FTP account with your web host. Usually that means logging into your account and finding the FTP section of the control panel. Create a username and password for your FTP account and now open Filezilla.

Once you are in Filezilla you need to enter your host name (usually yourdomain.com or ftp.yourdomain.com) and the user/pass you created at your hosting account.

This will connect you to your web server and you will see a file map of your server. Some hosts put the files inside a folder called public_html or something like that so you need to ask your host which folder you should be FTP-ing to.

Now on the left side of Filezilla you'll see your hard drive. You want to navigate to the place where your music is store. On the right side of Filezilla you have a map of your server. Navigate to the place where you should upload your files (Again, check with your host to make sure you are in the right folder). Then you will transfer your music files from your hard drive to your server.

As far as embedding the music on a web page, just Google "adding sound to a web page" or something like that for more explicit instructions. I know certain things work in some browsers and not in others so you'll have to iron all that out.

But first check with your host and make sure your FTP account is setup.

P.S. I didn't realize I didn't have a section for Music until your note. Well I do now and edited the description of this forum to include music too. Thanks!
