The purpose of this webpage is to assist you in using Internet Explorer to FTP your web page to your personal webspace.  It is not intended to show you how to design your webpage.  The internet is an excellent resource for information on how to design web pages.

Personal webspace at Sun Country Cablevision Ltd. is setup from the information in an active email address, including username and password.  Our example will be for a user who's email address is mypage@sunwave.net.  The URL for this persons Personal webspace will be http://mypage.users.sunwave.net.  A default web page is placed in their Personal Webspace and will appear like the one to the right.  This will be overwritten when you "upload" your webpage to your Personal Webspace.    You will probably want to have your webpage created before you try this.

To start with, we need to establish an FTP connection to the personal webspace.  We start by entering  the FTP address in the address bar of internet explorer.  For our example, look in the address bar to the left.  A dialog box like the one to the left will pop up asking for a user name and password.  The user name is the first part of the URL and the password is the same as the password for our example email address.  Click login to open the FTP connection.

   The connection is now established.  You can use the Internet Explorer window the same as you would use Windows Explorer to copy and paste files.  Open Windows Explorer to your web page files which you have created and stored on your computer and copy them.  Then paste them into the Internet Explorer window and they will be transfered to the personal webspace using FTP.  You can see the default web page file below.



Some points to remember:

• You can use any file name for your personal web page but to automatically display your web page by going to your Personal Web Space, we recomend that you call it index.html or default.html.
  
• Personal webspace is not automatically setup.  You must contact the Webmaster to have your Personal Webspace created.
• Likewise, if you wish to use Microsoft Front Page to create your webpage, the Webmaster needs to know.  Front Page extentions are not automatically installed.
• You must abide by the Acceptable Use Policy established by Sun Country Cablevision Ltd.
• Personal Webspace is limited in size to 10 MB.  If you exceed the size limitations, your  Personal Webspace may be removed
• Personal webspace is just that.  Personal.  Personal Webspace may not be used for business or commercial purposes.
