You can start a 15 day evaluation test drive of Ultimate Form Mail by going to the main page of the site at

www.ultimateformmail.com

Click the Free Trial link and you'll be off and running.

When you download the files to your hard drive, you'll need to unzip them. This will create a new folder on your computer that is almost certainly called 'ufm'. Look inside this folder and see what's in there. These are the files you'll soon be uploading to your server. Reverse back a step or two until you're looking at that 'ufm' folder again and you could click and drag it when the time comes...

(This article assumes you know at least a little about ftp software)

Open up your ftp client (software program) of choice and connect to your server. Go to the web root where your html and php files are kept... the ones that people can see when they go to your website.

Now, click and drag that ufm folder to your ftp software and start uploading the files. If you did this right, then you should have a new directory on your website called 'ufm'. If this didn't happen, then you probably have all the files from inside the 'ufm' directory of your hard drive dumped into the main directory of your server.

(I'm trying to help you keep your files nicely organized)

You should now open up your internet browser (Firefox is a nice one, but Internet Explorer works well enough) and go to www.yoursite.com/ufm/test.php

You should see a very simple contact form. Submit the form and you'll get a license error. At this point, that's what you want to see, because it means that you followed the directions correctly, and that your web server has the right tools to run my code.

Time to move on to the configuration article.
