Alex, I can spare some webspace and probably more than enough traffic volume, including FTP access. You could either make a new folder on http://stuff.ermarian.net (access info is on the site), or I could set up a new subdomain or something. (I'm already hosting my sister on a separate subdomain with her own ftp account, so that seems to work all right). :) [ Thursday, February 16, 2006 06:38: Message edited by: Arancaytar the Grey ] -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Congrats, Kel. Not only have you attained 5000 posts, but you have done it really quickly. I was once only 1000 behind you. Now, 2000 and steadily rising. -------------------- -ben4808 Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

Thanks Aran. Um, but what exactly is FTP and how do I use it to upload my files? What I think I'll do is upload the files and then just display them on the website I already have made. -------------------- Take the Personality Test! Deep down, you wish you were a stick figure.

I've always had luck treating a FTP folder like a regular file folder. I just copy and paste files to the ftp folder and somehow they magically appear in a new computer far, far away. Also, in my experience, it is better to use _ than a space in the filename, and to keep it all in lowercase. Good Luck. -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

quote:FTP is a protocol for uploading (and downloading) files. You need a client to connect to a server through FTP. The easiest way (in XP) to use it without downloading a client is probably to set up a "Network Resource" in your explorer. You open your Network Settings, click "Add Network Resource" (or similar), then click "Next" twice, enter: ftp://ftp.ermarian.net and click Next again, uncheck the option "Anonymous login" and enter the user name you can find on this page. Then click Next again, and it should be done. It will be like a regular folder, that you can copy stuff from and into. :) Edit: And salmon is right about the filenames. Spaces are a no-no, and lower case, while not essential, is very recommendable (because it's less confusing). Edit: I also set up a web upload form yesterday at this place, using the same password as for the FTP access. It seems to work so far...

As for clients, I like FileZilla best, and it has a very clean and easy interface. :) -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Yes, and if you'd been keeping up with your reading in the other threads, you would know that it means "Eat, drink and be merry" :) -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.
