Could someone help me with webspace
 

i used the ntlworld HTML guide and created two basic webpages (htm) files on my computer, they are at like Mydocuments\mypage1 ...etc.....but HOW do i upload these 2 files onto the web using my 55MB of webspace...please help

Re: Could someone help me with webspace
 

the easiest way is to browse in internet explorer to:

ftp://username:password@upload.ntlworld.com

then just drag and drop the files. If you want one of them to appear when you browse to http://homepage.ntlworld.com/yourusername it will need to called index.htm or index.html.

You could download an FTP client and upload using that or upload using IE.

This link is to a page I made for college that explains how to set up an FTP client. http://www.kittysworld.co.uk/webhost/pageone.htm

There are lots of free FTP clients around

To upload using IE by typing this

Re: Could someone help me with webspace

and then i looked and then i saw , http should have ftp , :dunce: of the week award for me then :D :D :D :D :D :D

Re: Could someone help me with webspace
 

sorry to undermine you... but that won't work. It either needs to be:

ftp://username@upload.ntlworld.com/
or
ftp://username:password@upload.ntlworld.com/

Re: Could someone help me with webspace
 

working fine from here :shrug: is your firewall set to allow IE to access the internet on the ftp port?

what error do you get when trying to open the page?

Re: Could someone help me with webspace
 

what is ftp?? i only have the webpages stored on my PC in my documents how would it just upload by typin my username in that adress?..thanks for the help so far

Re: Could someone help me with webspace
 

i just edited my post my mate , it will never work with http will it , working fine when using ftp :D :D :D :D

Re: Could someone help me with webspace
 

when i used that ftp://username:password@etc.....i got "windows cannot acess.etc"...make sure you have permission or somethin like that.

is there like a bit on ntlworld.com

where you just attach the documents, and then they just loadload it to the site you were allocated?

Re: Could someone help me with webspace
 

When I copied that from NTLs own instruction pages it used to work as a box popped up asking for password. I havent used it for over 5 years as I now only use FTP only its quicker and more user friendly


Sorry if the information has become obsolete with NTL updating things.
:(

Re: Could someone help me with webspace
 

there isn't, but if you pm me your username and send me the files i will upload them for you.

Using IE to upload your website

The easiest way to get your site uploaded without paying extra money for an FTP client is to use IE. You would typically enter a URL in the format of ftp://Username:Password@Host/directory/ into the address bar of your browser. It's then possible to drag and drop any files you want to upload into this window. If the username includes the '@' sign, this should be replaced by a '#' symbol instead. For example...

ftp://admin#insert-domain-name.co.uk...inwebsite_html

I would recomend an FTP client but if IE is the way you want to go that should help.

Re: Could someone help me with webspace
 

i cant drop and drag files into that username:password version..cus i get windows cannot access this folder , make sure you have typed correctly and have permission to acess it . The FTP session was terminated..thanks for your help.

and also special thanks to mnkey breath who is tyrin to upload me

Re: Could someone help me with webspace
 

Use a proper ftp client, flashfxp, cuteftp amongst others..

Re: Could someone help me with webspace
 

I have tried to upload my website with an FTP client, but according to the log shown below I cannot get access. I have tried my current password & what was I believe my original one, which was written down on the installation disk.

Any ideas

Though I think I know quite a lot, my knowledge seems to have gone backwards of late.

I see mention of proxy server mentioned on this site, and I am not sure if I have set up my pc to use them or not, can someone point me in the right direction to ascertain if I am or not.

Also why does using a proxy server make a difference?

Gary

Re: Could someone help me with webspace
 

Hi,

Without going into the argument of whether proxies are better or worse.

To check whether you have a proxy in use for your browser, then open your browser and choose tools then internet options then connections and then lan settings.

If there is a tick next to use a proxy server then you have at some point manually selected it.

Full information from the master can be found here

:D

Re: Could someone help me with webspace
 

There's a passive FTP option available that can sometimes foul things up and cause seemingly weird behaviour. Just thought I'd mention it :D

Proxies shouldn't be an issue with FTP.

Re: Could someone help me with webspace
 

In answer to my previous posts, I know I am not using a proxy, and I knew how to find out if I was using a proxy, but thought it was another type of proxy everyone was referring to.

:confused: Anyhow, I managed to upload to my directory, using upload.dtn.ntl.com\username and my current password.

A couple of questions: -

1) Do I access my homepage at homepage.ntlworld.com\username? as I believe. If so I cannot access it and receive the following:-

the page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please try the following:

If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelt correctly.
Click the Back button to try another link.
HTTP 404 - File not found

2) The above problem, may be due to the website design, as the website my wife designed in word2000 creates a default.htm, which I believe should be OK. Does anyone have any ideas?

We are only trying for a fairly basic site at the moment with photos etc, before we move onto something more adventurous :erm:

Re: Could someone help me with webspace
 

Hi,

Sorry about the confusion over proxies.

Stick around and i am sure someone from Support and in the know of the current set up will help and confirm.

From memory the the dtn.ntl.com were the addresses given prior to the ntlworld.com being used.

Now i know they migrated all of the email addresses over by way of aliases.

I.E. that is if they mail your dtn.ntl address it auto redirects to to the ntl world address.

Not 100% sure what the score is for web space though.

Although logically i would have thought if you can up upload via dtn.ntl then when viewing the dtn.ntl address should either display or re direct to the ntl world address.

Maybe it is the other way around though as you say you cannot access the uploads via ntlworld.com

What happens though if you upload to ntlworld.com, can you see it then by entering for example www.homepage.ntlworld.com\username?12324

The ?1234 will refresh and load the new page and bypass the transparent web cache.

As i siad earlier maybe one of the many Techies with access to your records will drop in and pick up on this and confirm which web space address is valid.

;)

Re: Could someone help me with webspace
 

I tried the above and still receive the same error.

I tried uploading to ntlworld.com, but can get no access.

This is making what should be a very easy task seem very difficult :mad: :mad:

Hi Gary,

I will bump this thread back to the top hoping one of the support guys here will see it and take an interest.

:D

Re: Could someone help me with webspace
 

thats good, shows it does exist.



have you tried homepage.dtn.ntl.com/username ?

to work properly the file should be named index.htm
