The FTP process logs you directly into your webspace. You will be unable to navigate outside this space on the server.

Publishing a website brings with it great responsibilities. Any material found to be offensive, and in breach of the terms and conditions of use, will result in the account being immediately cancelled and the webspace deleted.

The CEInternet Helpdesk, while able to help you configure your FTP software to connect, is not there to help you with problems caused by poor site design. If you find the site does not work - broken links, missing pictures etc, it is your responsibility to ensure it works correctly. If a problem cannot be resolved, we can perform remedial work for approximately $100/hr.

Publishing Tips:

ALWAYS write code or filenames in lower case with no spaces. The most common problem with websites are "file not found" errors. This often occurs when a hyperlink refers to a misspelt filename with mixed case.

You MUST have a homepage called index.html (or .htm). This is what the webserver looks for when initially loading your site. If you call it anything else, your site will not be loaded and errors will occur.
ALWAYS use short, descriptive names for html pages and graphics. A file called "my holiday adventure.jpeg" will probably work on your computer, but it won't work on the server. Try holiday.jpeg instead. If you MUST have a long filename, separate the words with underscores ie: my_holiday_adventure.jpeg
ALWAYS create a local "root" folder, where ALL of the pages and images for your site reside. If they don't, the site may preview OK on your computer, but when you upload, you'll only upload whatever files are in your "root" folder - causing "file not found" error messages when you try to view the site on the web.
If you are creating graphics, be aware that they can take up alot of your webspace if created incorrectly, or saved in the wrong format. There are many websites on the Internet that explain image optimisation.
