Vbulletin questions on windows xp

[06jack07]

To install vbulletin on WINDOWS xp, do u have to have dreamwaver?
And if yes, does that mean u have to pay for it?

I know there is a trial version but if u use that then upload the files to a webserver but the trial runs out, does that mean the forum will go down?

To do what, if your uploading onto a webserver you use FTP (i.e. SmartFTP) and connect to it ftp.yourhost.com user: your cpanel user pass: your cpanel pass.

yeah so i can tell me friend to upload the files from php? right to smartftp then upload them to an domain name right?

SmartFTP connects you to his host so you'd drag the files from his computer into the box and it'd upload then he'd go by vBulletin instructions to install it etc.

[Galaxay1]

Yes, you open SmartFTP put in the link ftp.YOURHOSTHERE.com or whatever then Username: Your cPanel Login Password: Your cPanel Password then upload them.

Or is that the password that u make, wen editting sum files?

[Galaxay1]

Yes when uploading things on your site it comes with a user + pass, whatever your host is put ftp.yourhosthere and user + pass ..

i.e.

Ftp.habbox.com
User: Scott
Pass: Scott
