larissahn Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 let's say i have to update an existing site. the page i'm working on is called programmes.php i haven't downloaded the entire site to my pc, just this one page to work on it. i made some changes to the text and i added a new pdf file (which i copied to my local root folder first). i didn't download images or anything else from the server, just the one page. i want to make sure that when i upload it, i don't ruin the page. when i finish with the changes, i only have to choose the arrow that says"put files", nothing else?

jlhaslip Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 If I understand correctly, you will be uploading a changed file to the site? Be sure to do a backup of that file (by renaming it?) before you place the new one up on the site. Then you will have the original as a copy if something should go wrong, and it could replace the new, messed up file. Or better yet, do a complete backup of the site before making the changes. Just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larissahn Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 ok, i'll do the backups. but the only thing i need to do, besides that, is upload the page again, right? keep in mind that i downloaded only the page (not the images, flash files, etc.)?
