Ftp Help

[mike]

here to show my lack of knowledge again:

 

 

I set up a folder under my public_html called "freebies".

 

I created an ftp account: free@mysite.com

 

The idea is to let friends go there and download things like spyblaster, etc

rather than emailing attachments. ( ..and maybe I should be doing it another way thats better, not sure )

 

but what goes into the wsftp ( i.e.) for the hookup?

 

ftp.mysite.com/freebies ???? ( i already know that didn't work, but nothing else did either)

 

thanks in advance

 

[mike]

I almost got there.

 

I set it to : ftp.mysite.com then down below ( in wsftp )

 

I entered the account name blah@mysite.com

 

and I got "pass hidden"

 

and wsftp quit

When you created the ftp account for free

and then added a password,

did you then change the destination folder

from the default of free to freebies?

I usally set up ftp sites under the Cpanel. Did you try that. Always works for me.

[mike]

Yea, I did setup in cpanel.

 

Don, in my ftp accounts it's listed as:

 

free@mysite.com (freebies)

 

like that. should I rename the folder to just : free

As to setup in WsFTP

check TotalchoiceHosting Help Site for more info.

There is a link to a movie on the setup.

[mike]

Well I think I'm alright on the wsftp end.

 

I probably need to go delete the account and try that setup again.

 

 

thanks folks.

Yep , I woke up and saw the roses.

 

I was putting username as free instead of free@mysite.com

 

DUH !!!!!!!!
