To get into your FTP account, you can just open IE and type in ftp.whiteysex.com and login. Or they might give you a different FTP address, but you really have to see. If you want to use a more professional tool, there is lots of software for managing FTP connections. I use WinSCP because its extremely secure.


I have an FTP account created but I can't log into it. I just keeps saying it can't make a connection to the host. If you know what I need to do post up. I gotta go to bed, I'll try any suggestion in the morning

thanks.

Whenever I have started up new pages it usually takes 24hrs or less for the stuff to be set-up so I can upload and edit stuff.

When you are entering the info into Dreamweaver have it test the login information. If that passes, then it is a site problem. Whenever I have uploaded stuff it is ftp, so most commonly you upload to ftp.yournamehere.com never used the www for it.

Have you set your dns servers in godaddy? Ehost should have sent you an email with the correct servers. If you havent't yet, do so. They also sent you a temporary ip address. YOu can use that temp. ip address to upload files until your domain has propogated. If this doesnt make sense, im more than happy to give u a hand.

You could always use a hacked copy of WS_FTP. All you need to enter is your domain FTP address (ftp.whiteysnewsite.com), usename (or ftp account name) and password. You could always use the file upload on your control panel, but I hate doing uploads one file at a time (or 5 at a time).

Sometimes it takes a day or three for everything to be set up, so you may need to give it a little time.

Thats the problem when I try and setup the remote info in Dreamweaver it doesn't make connection.

Yeah I got all that stuff and when I use the ip address I can upload files to the FTP site. My problem is now how do you turn those uploaded files into a "site"

Depending on how you design you web page, if it's a plain html, you should have an index.htm or index.html file under the root directory (usually www) of your site so that whenever somebody point to your website, the index file gets pull up. (index.php for php, index.asp for asp and so on..). If you don't have it (and the directory listing is able on your site), the listing of all your files/directory will show up when they try to access it.

I didnt know you are actually trying to do the whole dreamweaver thing. Some hosts may not support that sort of stuff, just like FrontPage extensions. Go with straight up html or php pages.
