How to Get my website uploaded?

NicJones · 26-05-2005, 14:29

Can anyone help please. I'm an NTL subscriber and have created a basic website in Dreamweaver. NTL give free space (55Mb?) to customers and I want to utilise it. I don't want to spend much time on this and to be honest only want the results !! Can anyone recommend the best way to upload to NTL, is there any reliable freeware out there to ftp or will I need to purchase ftp software. I did try and dabble with this a while ago but I've completely forgotten what I did.

There is more than enough information on this in the sticky threads, but until I find them and link them for you, try downloading "Filezilla"

You need an FTP client ... there are plenty out there as shareware, that will let you do it for free for a while before asking for payment. I believe the NTLworld website recommends Terrapin:

Thanks a lot, FileZilla did the trick and easy to use. Cheers

Personally, I use FlashFXP.

I find it very easy to use, it has many features and options.

Hi nevhig,

to Cable Forum.

The answers to your questions should all be here:

I think the bit you need is this bit:

To upload to PWP, you need to put the following settings in your FTP program:

Hostname: ftp.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk
Username: yourwebsitealias [which is the part of your address between the www. and the ".pwp"]
Password: Your PWP password, as chosen in Self Care

PWP = Personal Web Page

I second that. I actually bought it (believe it or not), I liked it that much

I have, on occasion, just used IE to upload my site.

Not brilliant I grant you - but still free.

Just another option.

nevhig,

The reason that you are getting some rather confusing answers to your question about which server address to use is because people are responding to the OP (original poster/original post) and their request for advice on a FTP program (even though the OP appears to have got that sorted now).

Sometimes, in situations like this where your question is almost the same but there are a few pointed differences, it is better to start a new thread on the subject - this avoids any confusion.

If the Team (that's the lovely people that run the site) think that it needs to be merged with an existing thread they will do so and let you know.

The link in post 4 goes to the thread with this in it

which covers uploading to the Telewest FTP space

Ok smarty pants.

The OP asked about NTL (and the post said that the link was for NTL information, although admittedly it contains BY stuff as well) but nevhig is asking about Blueyonder/Telewest so Nurrrrr

unfortunately someone decided that both sets of information should be posted in the same thread area. This does mean that unless people actually look at the sticky posts in the right forum area they won't see it lol Having the posts in multiple areas would help but would also lead to people posting in the wrong forum areas about certain things I suppose.
Oh and who told you my pants were intellectual???
