Frequently Asked Questions Web Hosting FAQ		Account Information FTP Uploads You will find some files and subdirectories already present in your account space. We recommend not altering the sub-directories in any way (other than depositing files into them, or changing permissions). You will find a file called index.html. This is the default page for the account, and begins as a 'Welcome' page. You should replace this file with your own 'Home' page, so that any viewer who visits the site will see this file initially when entering your domain name on their browser. Now you can begin transferring files to the server, but please keep these points in mind when uploading files: UNIX systems are case-sensitive. Thus, a file named foobar.txt would be a separate file from one named FOOBAR.txt. If you can't seem to find a file on the server that you just uploaded, check to see that you are using the right case. UNIX filenames also may contain almost any type of character, and sometimes this may confuse FTP clients. If you have trouble retrieving or linking to a file, try using wildcards (*) in FTP to delete it, and replace it with a file that doesn't have spaces or other special characters in its name. Our web server recognizes file formats by extension. This means a client retrieving a file named .htm or .html will be told it is in HTML format. Make sure that you use the proper extensions when uploading your files. CGI scripts must be in the /cgi-bin subdirectory and have file permissions set to 'executable', otherwise they will not run correctly. Upload graphic files (such as .jpg or .gif files) in 'Binary' mode with FTP, and HTML or scripts in 'ASCII' mode in order to ensure that there are no extraneous 'control' characters in your scripts or pages. To organize your site you may create an unlimited number of subdirectories (folders) within your account space to organize your site using the FTP command 'mkdir'. To have a page automatically load up when a browser goes to a directory, name a file index.html (make sure its lowercase) and place it in that directory. If an index.html file is not present, the web browser will default to a list of all the files in that directory. This applies to the root directory as well.
