Could someone help me with webspace

[ntlrocks]

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

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

http://www.coreftp.com/

To upload using IE by typing this

ftp://upload.ntlworld.com/account name here

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/

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?

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.

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.
