Basic FTP Instructions

These instructions are written for the basic 10M website that comes with individual Dial up and DSL accounts. They can also be applied to other accounts, just use the hostname, username and password from your Hosting Account Information sheet.

 

  1. Open your FTP program
  2. For the hostname or server name use: users.easystreet.com
  3. Leave the path field blank.
  4. In the username and password fields, use your dial up or DSL account username andpassword
  5. Click Connect.
  6. Our server will automatically connect you to your home directory.
  7. Open the WWW directory. This is the only folder that is visible on the Internet.
  8. Use the commands in your FTP client to transfer the files from your computer into the WWW directory.
  9. Double check that you are uploading your .html files as text and your pictures as binary.
  10. You’re done, disconnect

If your ftp client requires that you specify a complete path, use one of the following:ftp://users.easystreet.com/users/<username>/ orftp://<username>@users.easystreet.com/easystreet/users/<username>/

Links to FTP Programs

We recommend that you use a separate program, rather than the publishing features built into some HTML editors (i.e. FrontPage, Adobe GoLive). Many of these FTP programs are shareware, and allow you to more easily move files and see what is in your web directories at EasyStreet.
