How To Upload Your
Site To Our Servers
There are many ways depending on
your computer system, that you can transfer files to
your account directory. The process by which files are
transferred to the web server is called "FTP"
(File Transfer Protocol). You have unlimited access
via FTP 24 hours a day. As such, you can create and
maintain your web pages on your own computer and upload
files to your web site at your leisure.

Where To Upload Your Files
Once you have connected to our
servers via your FTP program, you can then upload
your web site files. All html files and images must
be uploaded to the htdocs
directory. Once in this directory you can create subdirectories
as needed. All cgi related scripts must be uploaded
to the cgi-bin
directory.
What To Name Your Home Page
Please name your home page index.html
in order to overwrite the "Under Construction"
Page that we created for you when you signed up.
