uploading homepages
Once you have created your webpages , you need to copy them from your computer to the iiNet computer (known as uploading ). To do this, you use a protocol called File Transfer Protocol, or FTP. There are a variety of FTP programs available for you to use. You can also use your web browser to connect via FTP.
Uploading with a web browser
To use your web browser to upload your files, enter the following in the location or address bar:
ftp:// your_username @members.iinet.net.au/
A login window will appear that will ask you to type in your username and password. Type in your iiNet username and password.
Your main webpage or homepage (the page you want people to see first) should be called index.html . If you are using an older operating system your HTML files might have an extension of ".htm". These will not display correctly on most browsers, so you will need to rename them to an extension of " .html "
Using an FTP Program to upload your webpages
If you are using an FTP program, rather than your web browser, you need to configure it to connect to our shell server, with your iiNet username and password. If your FTP program has an option for "Anonymous FTP", disable it.
Here are instructions for the most popular FTP software you might want to use to upload your web pages to our server. Note that iiNet does not support this software but provides the guides as a courtesy.
