Uploading your website
To upload your website you will need an FTP program. We suggest either
WS_FTP or Cute FTP. You can learn about either
program and how to use them from the documentation provided with the
software.
To upload your web site to internetsolutionsetc.com and use
username@yourdomain.com where "username" is your real username and "yourdomain"
is your real domain name. If you did it correctly you will be prompted
for your password. Enter in your password and you will be in your directory
where you will see a folder called "cgi-bin" and another called "htdocs".
Your html pages and images should go in htdocs while any scripts you
may need to install will go in cgi-bin. Be sure to use "binary" transfer
mode for graphics and ASCII mode for cgi scripts.
Sending and receiving email
To check your email you need to set up a new email account in your
favorite email program. There a only a few things you will need to know
to send and receive email with your Internet Solutions ETC account.
At Internet Solutions ETC we use pop-before-smtp authentication so in
order to send mail you must first check your mail. The server will identify
you by your username and password and then grab your IP address and
hold it in a database of trusted IP's for one hour. It is during this
hour that you may send mail. If you are rejected by the mail server
simply check your mail again to re-authenticate your IP address.
Use username@yourdomain.com where "username" is your real username
and "yourdomain" is your real domain name for your email pop3 username.
You will also need your password.
pop3 server: mail.yourdomain.com
SMTP server: check with your ISP.
