Help with setting up site


I'm really new to this so I'd like some help with setting up my website. I'm using dreamweaver and it's asking for the following information:

FTP Host
Host Directory
URL prefix

my website is graphicfizz.com and I'm hosting it at godaddy.com. So what exactly do I type in for what it's asking me for?

Help would be appreciated!

so where it says url prefix i just type in http?

And my domain name provider can't help me because I'm using dreamweaver. When I asked them they just said that they couldn't help me because they didn't know anything about dreamweaver. So if anyone is using godaddy as their domain name provider and is also using dreamweaver, I would very much like some help!

Thanks!

it makes no odds what program you use your host MUST give you these details otherwise you have no weay of uploading files.

ftp host will be the ip of the host (alot of the times it is just the domain name instead of an IP), you will also need the username and password.

Host directory will most likely be the path to where the files should be placed on the ftp site (ussually something like htdocs/ or www/)

Usually in DW they ask for FTP access to upload your files to your Server... If thats the case ftp:// is right.... if you choose some other options then tell me i'll tell you!
