How to Edit a Live PHP Site via FTPIn Feburary 2016 25,
In Feburary 2016 25,
Open File Explorer or Internet Explorer: both programs access the built-in FTP client.
Type the site's host server FTP url into the address bar and press 'Enter.' The FTP address starts with 'FTP://' instead of 'HTTP://" like a website. ExampleSite.com might have its FTP server located at a URL like 'FTP://adminFTP.ExampleSite.com.'
Enter your client account user name and password then press 'OK' to log in to the FTP.
Locate the PHP files you want to update in the FTP browser window. The FTP browser window displays the files on the FTP server like File Explorer displays local files on your computer or home network.

Highlight the updated versions of the files you want to update on the PHP site in the File Explorer window and press 'Ctrl+C' to copy them.
Open the FTP window, locate the folder hosting the files you want to update and press 'Ctrl+V' to upload the files to the FTP. If Windows asks, choose the option that overwrites and replaces the files. The new versions of the files will immediately display on the site when refreshing the page.

How to Change the Default Rendering on SSRSIn Feburary 2016 18,
In Feburary 2016 18,
Locate the report you will be creating a link to using the ReportServer portal in SSRS. Typically, this is found at http://servername/ReportServer. The interface will be minimal, but will display the same folders and reports as the Report Manager.
Copy the URL. Note that the URL may contain several parameters, but the part to look for is the report path, which can be found between the '?' and the first '&', if any exists. In the following example, the report path is '/Folder/Report%20Name':http://servername/ReportServer?/Folder/Report%20Name&rs:Command=Render
Create a new URL using the report path with some additional parameters to specify the rendering format. The 'rs:Format' parameter specifies the rendering format for the report. The following values are common for a default installation of SSRS: HTML4.0, MHTML, IMAGE, EXCEL, PDF and CSV. The 'rs:Command' parameter set to 'Render' instructs the report server to render the report in the specified format.For example, for a URL that always renders the report as a PDF document, use the following:http://servername/ReportServer?/Folder/Report%20Name&rs:Format=PDF&rs:Command=Render
Render a report as an Excel document this way:http://servername/ReportServer?/Folder/Report%20Name&rs:Format=EXCEL&rs:Command=Render

How to Fix Internet Explorer Error Code 10061In Feburary 2016 17,
In Feburary 2016 17,
Check the address in your toolbar to make sure it is correct. If you get this error, you may have entered the address wrong into your address toolbar. Check the entire address for errors since there is a huge difference between .com and .org at the end of a URL or http: and ftp: at the beginning of a URL.
Contact the administrator of the site you are trying to visit. The administrator may have the wrong link to a specific place on the site or a server may be not working correctly. You may also need some sort of special permission to view content on that Web server.
Check your system administrator if you are at work or at school. Copy and paste the entire error that you get in an email to your system help desk. Include the entire Web address that gave you the error. An error of this type may be caused by a firewall or a proxy setting your work or school has control over.

How Do I Upload My Own Music Onto My Website?In Feburary 2016 13,
In Feburary 2016 13,
Access the web host that services your website and place your MP3 file in the same folder that contains your other web page files. This folder is typically found in the 'Index' or 'Main' directory.
