[wp-pro] ftp: XAMPP flezilla

[Leslie]

Hi.  You should be able to drop them into the directory,even ifyou're
running XAMPP from thumbdrive.  XAMPP will see it when you leave the
directory via the XAMPP web page and come back.  Isn't XAMPP great?  I
played with installing every CMS I could find into it.  But if you want
pictures to be indexed by wordpress I suppose you'd have to upload them.
 
Filezilla is for running ftp transfers on a machine that doesn't have an FTP
client - or for grabbing your personal files from work and dropping them on
your website if you don't want to leave traces on the Windows machine.
DItto the email program that is bundled with XAMPP.  Carry the stick on your
keychain and you can do a wordpress demo or even modify your live
installation offline.
 
Oh, for Wordpress - I think that you may have to down load the Perl
ModRewrite script for XAMPP.  Not sure, it's been a while.  Also, you may
have to change something in php.ini  or .htaccess to upload large files or
unsupported mime types.  (There's a plugin for that - but if you try to
upload a large list of extensions the php.ini upload file size limitation
may nail you.)
 
Are you running XAMPP on a memory stick or on a Windows machine?
 
Ah, but the purists will tell us these are XAMPP questions, not Wordpress
questions.  Email me OFF-LIST if you have more questions.  No charge.  :-)

Hello,

I have installed XAMPP and downloaded Wordpress and set up an initial blog
page which is showing up with my browser at the local host.  Phew!

I do not understand..

1. If I download a theme and unzip the files do I need to use an FTP client
like filezilla client to upload to my own local server and add the them to
my Wordpress files or can I just use Windows and move the theme files to my
Wordpress them folder locally?

2.Filezilla is running on XAMPP but I do not know what it is for or how to
use it!  Any resources pointers?

 

Thank you.

 

Lori
