You can use any standard FTP client software such as CuteFTP (unless you are administering a FrontPage site using FrontPage Extensions) to update your web page files and transfer web page and graphic files to your personal Web space. Just follow these instructions ...
Connect to EONI as you normally do to read email or surf the Web.
Start (open) your FTP client software.
Where your ftp software prompts you for the ftp server or hostname address, type in:
ftp.eoni.com (or
eoni.com)
(if you are using CuteFTP, type this in the "FTP Host Address"' box)
Type in your username and password. These will be the same ones you use to log into your email account.
Generally, you can leave other options at their default value. If given a choice (with CuteFTP, for example), you should select "normal" as the type of login, not "anonymous".
Connect to the EONI FTP server with your FTP software's login or connect command. (With CuteFTP, just click the "Connect" button.)
After the FTP connection has been established, you will find yourself in your "home" directory.
Using the menu commands of your particular client, create a new directory called
"public_html"< (without the quotes). Some customers may find that this directory has already been created for them.
You will be uploading all your HTML and binary files into the
"public_html" directory for your home page. (With CuteFTP, files on your local computer will appear in the left panel and files and folders on the server -- where you want to upload your selected local files -- appear in the right panel.)
Be sure to name the HTML file for your HOME page
"index.html" (without the quotes).
Then upload the index.html file into your
public_html directory and all other html files, graphics, sounds,
java classes, etc into this directory (or its subdirectories). Sub directories for other pages on your site can be made below the
public_html directory, if you wish to organize your site components accordingly.
*(Mac users: When uploading binary files, be sure to choose the "Raw Data" option in your preferences.)
After your Web page files and graphics files have been uploaded to your server space, you can see them displayed on your Web browser by typing in this URL (address):
http://www.eoni.com/~usernameNOTE #1: If you are using Microsoft FrontPage for creating your pages and uploading them into your personal Web space, you will need to request the
EONI Network Administration team to enable FrontPage Extensions (at modest extra cost) and provide specific instructions that differ from those shown here.
NOTE #2: Some web hosting customers with self-administering sites will need to follow special alternative procedures. The procedures covered here deal with personal Web space provided under standard dialup email accounts. For more information, see
How To Administer Your Basic Virtual Web Site.
