How To: Publish Personal WebSpace Using an FTP Program
► Summary:
This article provides information and steps for publishing Personal WebSpace using an FTP application.
► Solution
Because every FTP application is different, the steps below are generalized. For more detailed
information, see the FTP program's online Help.
Note:
·
Personal WebSpace is case sensitive. If the URL to the Personal WebSpace is included as a link
on other webpages, or in emails or other files, it should be typed in lower case only. An
example of the correct format is http://pages.Suddenlink.net/username.
Example: http://pages.Suddenlink.net/USERNAME/ and
http://pages.Suddenlink.net/UserName/ are both incorrect, as they are not all lower case.
·
All references that are made in Personal webpages to a file, such as a graphic, must be made in
the same case as the filename. For example, if there is a picture named "IMAGE.jpg" in the
Personal WebSpace folder, the link used to that picture must be the same case. The correct
way to link to that image would be http://pages.Suddenlink.net/username/IMAGE.jpg.
Example: http://pages.Suddenlink.net/username/image.jpg or
http://pages.Suddenlink.net/username/Image.JPG will not work.

Action
Open the FTP application.
When prompted for the host name, enter pages.Suddenlink.net.
Enter username and password.
Note: The username and password are the same as those used for email.
Example: If the email address is johndoe@Suddenlink.net, the username is johndoe.

provides a list of the files in the Personal WebSpace directory.
Select and transfer the files.
Close the FTP application and disconnect from the Personal WebSpace server.
