And how did you get on?

[johnniepk]

No luck last night at up to approx 8pm. Then I had to go off line

Nice man from CF (see above) advised a bit later he had ironed out a few problems at that end. I have tried quickly this morning but it did not work but I was rushing it a bit so will try again when not rushing later today.
Feeling hopeful.Will post latwer.Thank you

have you tried using internet explorer to just ftp into your webspace to see if it works.
if you haven't try this
open internet explorer in the address bar type
ftp://username@upload.ntlworld.com
username being your original ntl issued username, changed ones or second email address names don't work.
when prompted enter your password
again only your original ntl issued password will work.

if you get a blank webpage and no errors you should be in and can now use copy and paste to transfer whatever you wish into your webspace.

I shall try that.Is the user name just the bit before @ or do I use username@ntlworld.com?
thanks

nope its just the user name bit not the whole email address needed For example I would put
joe.bloggs@upload.ntlworld.com if my account was in the name of joe bloggs

I think you can only access the upload server from an NTL ip address but don't quote me on that lol

[johnniepk]

That actually makes me feel better!
I shall spend the evening on the PC and forget the plastering.

Hi, I've been having similiar problems to the original poster of this thread, so I've followed the replies with interest, however on the above point, I've got my blank webpage, but when you say copy and paste to transfer whatever you wish into your webspace... I originally created all my stuff using MS Frontpage - is it just a matter of copying and pasting the stuff I've created in Frontpage to that blank webpage??? And then you have your website?? It's my first attempt, sorry to sound like a novice

[johnniepk]

Be patient.I too was completely floored by what to do.The guys who helped me know their stuff and will post replies to help you soon.After following their advice and help I now have a fully functioning web site with links ,a counter etc.This is a superb forum and you will soon be on the net.Good Luck.
