I Hate FTP Programs

| I have designed a homepage using Word 2000 and have this feeling of wanting to throw my pc out of the window.
Have been trying to find a website that offers free webspace and have been very successful.
Problem is getting my homepage out there!!!
I am using two FTP programs right now - BladeFTP and Simply Cool FTP but none are cutting it to my chosen websites.
I am using www.tiscali.co.uk
www.150m.com
www.tripod.lycos.co.uk
&
prohosting.com
The basics of FTP connections are:
HOSTNAME - this is usually www. whatever your chosen site was
USER ID
&
PASSWORD
I am doing something wrong if I cannot get my connections right and my site up and running.
I am a beginner here with a lot to say.
YES IT'S FREEBIE ME!!!
But this is for play for now.
I will go pro and pay as soon as I know how to do my thing.
Right now, I am scratching my head.
What's probably best for me is a site that offers its own uploading as FTP sites are too complicated for me. | |

| Are you getting any errors at all? or is it simply not letting you login with the credentials you are supplying?
The FTP Servername / Hostname for all my sites begin with ftp.xxxxxxx.com / uk etc. | |

| Not letting me login.
What FTP program do you use? | |

| Just tried this
ftp.tiscali.co.uk
and got an error using Blade FTP which can be found here http://www.bizunit.com/blade.htm
What am I doing wrong? I am using a slightly older version. | |

| I use WS_FTP Pro. You can download an evaluation version
HERE .
Theres also Cute FTP. I know a lot of people who use this for uploading web pages without problems.

| Not sure if you've looked HERE
It lists all the settings for your FTP Client. Looks as though your hostname should be ftp.myweb.tiscali.co.uk. | |

I did look there, always thought that the part that said "my web" actually meant my webspace chosen name.
I will retry it.
CuteFTP is evaluation.
I dislike shareware's or evaluations - they often remove unremovable traces of themselves. | |

| If Frontpage extensions are enabled turn them off, at least until the upload is complete. Sometimes FTP is automatically disabled when Frontpage extensions are enabled. |
