Whats my URL?

[NicJones]

Ok I'm new to this. I've uploaded my files to ntl using ftpexplorer, so far so good. What's the correct format for my URL? my home page is INDEX.HTML and my ntl user name is nic.jones**. Can anyone just give me the correct pathname or URL to see my home page?

[Tricky]

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/nic.jones***/

homepage.ntlworld.com/nic.jones**/

Edit: Damn that Tricky

[NicJones]

Thanks for the reply Paul. I'm still missing a screw here !!!! so it should be in the format :


www.INDEX.HTML.ntlworld.com/nic.jones** ?

Is is definitely the my ntl user name I should stick at the end and not the ftp profile name I used? Should there be a slash after the home page?

I know I'm a pain.

Cheers

Nick

hi and to the site , sheesh am i the only one that welcomes ppl around here

homepage.ntlworld.com/nic.jones**/

should get you to your index page

[NicJones]

Thanks and thanks Paul. I'm still doing something wrong, I've tried :
INDEX.HTML.ntlworld.com/nic.jones** but must be the wrong format or does my home page need to be in a folder?!
Cheers

Cheers,


I'm still confused, where does the word 'homepage' come into it when my homepage is called 'INDEX.HTML'.

Hit me with a big stick !!!!!!!!!!

no , try homepage.ntlworld.com/nic.jones**/


that should sort you out

[NicJones]

Thanks but it doesn't work I'm afraid. My user name is nic.jones41 and homepage is hopefully 'INDEX.HTML'.

Therefore my URL is :
http//:www.INDEX.HTML.ntlworld.com/nic.jones41 ?????????

I've tried all kinds of configurations, I'm losing the will to live

No, the homepage subdomain is what they use for your personal webspace.
Therefore, any NTL users will have http://homepage.ntlworld.com/USERNAME/ as their URL.
Yours will be http://homepage.ntlworld.com/nic.jones41/

Try these: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/nic.jones41/INDEX.HTML
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/nic.jones41/INDEX.HTM
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/nic.jones41/index.html
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/nic.jones41/index.htm

Anything in the domain (before the .com bit) is not case sensitive but directories and filenames are so if your main page is called InDex.Html, you'd use: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/nic.jones41/InDex.Html to view it.

By the way, http://homepage.ntlworld.com/nic.jones41/ works for me...

your 'homepage' has two aspects - its address/url e.g http://homepage.ntlworld.com/username

- e.g. (maybe) for you http://homepage.ntlworld.com/nic.jones41/

and the 'index' file, which is index.htm - the html script defining the initial appearance of your website. - this has to be in the root folder of your webspace - and you need ftp for that, hence most peoples problems

Richard,

You're a hero, you're quite right it works. That'll teach me not to meddle Scooby Doo style with things I don't understand. Thanks again

Nick
