How do I upload a SellFolio to my own website?

Applicability: SellFolio 4.0 Complete and SellFolio 3.0 versions (SellFolio 3.0 projects are located in the C:\SellFolios folder)

If you want to subscribe to our ViewWork hosting: SellFolio's ViewWork.Com hosting enables you to upload your projects to the Web for very low cost, and with one-click uploads.  It makes everything easy.  If you already have a website, all you have to do is make links to your ViewWork-hosted projects.

If you want to upload projects to your own website: If you wish to upload your projects to your own website, you'll need an FTP program (there are many free or low-cost FTP programs available for download.  Simply perform a search on the Internet for "FTP program").  You'll also need to know how to use that FTP program, as SellFolio LLC does not provide tech support for such products. 

Either view the following tutorial (be sure to turn on your speakers if required), and upload your project as-shown:

... or follow these guidelines for uploading your SellFolio projects using a third-party FTP program:

• Your SellFolio projects can be found in the following folders on your hard drive:
  C:
       \SellFolios_V4
            \<yourProjectName>
                 \Bin        <--this is where your project files are
                      \images        <--this is where your project files are

• Make a remote folder (i.e., on the server), and name that folder so that it reflects the name of the SellFolio project.  Upload the contents of your local "Bin" folder into that remote folder.
  *** NOTE: You don't have to upload the file called "launch.exe" ***

• Make a remote "images" subfolder.  Upload the contents of your local "Images" folder into the remote "images" subfolder.
  *** NOTE: the remote "images" folder MUST be all lowercase (i.e., it must be "images," not "Images) ***

• When you upload your files, ALL filenames MUST have their original capitalization, as found on your local hard drive (i.e., be sure that your FTP program does not convert everything to lowercase).

• The file you need to launch is <yourPath>/sellfolio.html

EXAMPLE:

Let's say that this is your website:

http://www.a1realestate.com

You then made remote subfolders, "123anystreethouse," and "images", so that your remote folder structure is:

http://www.a1realestate.com

                    /123anystreethouse

                                        /images

Let's say that this is your local project:

C:
     \SellFolios_V4
          \123 Anystreet House
               \Bin
                    \images

Upload the contents of your local Bin folder...

C:\SellFolios_V4\123 Anystreet house\Bin

... to your remote folder ...

http://www.a1realestate.com/123anystreethouse/

... and upload the contents of your local images folder ...

C:\SellFolios_V4\123 Anystreet house\Bin\images

... to your remote images folder ...

http://www.a1realestate.com/123anystreethouse/images/

Thus, this is the web address you'd type into your web browser to view your project after uploading it:
