These instructions explain how to use a program called FTP to
transfer files from your home computer to our web server to setup
your website. Basic FTP instructions are also explained. For more
detailed instructions, please see documentation for FTP.

Note: By default, we do not support FrontPage Extensions or Front Page publishing EXCEPT in FP FTP mode.

This document explains how to setup your web site on ISONE.

To access your account, you must have an Internet account with us or
another service provider and a program that will do FTP access.  Programs
like WS-FTP,  FTP under Windows 95, etc will do this.

For a personal website, your website name will be a tilde and your
username in lowercase appended to the system name.  For example, if your
username is 'yjenkins', then your URL for your website would be:

     http://www.isone.com/~yjenkins

Note:  This is for a personal site.  If you are building a commercial
site that has obtained a 'virtual domain', then your website URL will be
the virtual domain name.


First, you must login to your providers account, then use FTP to access
ISONE.  Below is a sample login session using Windows 95-supplied FTP
(From Run Menu Item, enter FTP).  User entry is BOLD:

FTP> open ftp.isone.com
Connected to ftp.isone.com.
220 isone FTP server (Version wu-2.4(6)  Fri Dec 29 10:03:35 PST 1996) ready.

/home/username
ftp>cd www

...Do any get and put of files here

ftp>quit
331-Goodbye.

User files are stored in the directory 'www'.  The initial loadable HTML
file MUST BE NAMED 'INDEX.HTM', and it must be uppercase as shown!  A
sample INDEX.HTM is supplied in your account.
