Accessing Your Web Space With FTP

The address for your website will appear in the following format, replacing "name" with the website-ID that you selected for your website during the activation process:

http://web.newsguy.com/name

Member websites are accessible through a variety of Web Development, Web Editing, and FTP software applications. This includes full support for Microsoft FrontPage, and the following tips provide instructions for accessing your website via FTP:

bullet Within your FTP application, set the "Host Name/Address" to "web.newsguy.com"
 
bullet Input your Newsguy Username and Password IDs. These are the same IDs that you use to access other areas of the NewsGuy service, such as the Usenet newsgroups.
 
bullet Goto the "public_html" directory, which should be the only one listed at this time. Upload the file here, calling it "home.htm". Once uploaded, the server will retrieve automatically, and post your home page. Once posted, you can create whatever subdirectories necessary under the main public_html directory. The remaining pages that are uploaded should follow steps #1 & #2, and will be automatically posted in much the same way as the home page.
 
bullet Sites provide 50 MB of space, and fully support MySQL and PHP.
 
bullet As a system guideline and bandwidth issue, please do not use this web space for adult-oriented binaries or as a means for archiving software/binaries.
 
bullet If you would be interested in including a counter within your site, please refer to the Counter Information page. The actual counter file can be found within your user page directory and is created upon setting up access. It is stored as a .dat file and is defaulted to your user page name.
