| Note:
Depending on the Internet Access Plan you have, there is a limit to the
web space available to you (15 MB or 5 MB).
If you need more information concerning your access plan, need to upgrade it, or have additional questions about this solution please contact us by clicking on the envelope above: 1. Open Netscape Communicator and make sure you are connected to the internet. 2. Type in the web site address: ftp://username@ftp.myplanet.net ("username" is the username you use to login to Big Planet). A dialog box will come up asking for your password. You should enter the password you use to login to Big Planet and click on the "OK" button. 3. Confirm that you are in your private publishing area by verifying that your page says "Current directory is /web". Hint: If your page says "Current directory is/" you are not in your private publishing area. To enter your private publishing area, click the "web/" folder. 4. You are now ready to upload files to your web storage space. You can do so by dragging and dropping the files you want to upload to your browser. Or, you can choose "Upload File" from the File menu, choose the file you want to upload and click the "Open" button. Hint: You should name the first page of your web site "index.htm", "default.htm", or "home.htm" (do not use capital letters). Macintosh users can alternatively name their first page "index.html", "default.html", or "home.html". 5. A dialog box will come up to give you an indication that the file is being transferred to the server. After the transfer, verify that your directory contains the file or files you have uploaded. 6. You can now view your web site by typing in the web address http://www.myplanet.net/yourusername*/yourpagename ** *Once again "yourusername"
is the username you use to login to Big Planet.
