FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

How do I upload my web pages?

To upload your web pages you need to ensure that the software which you are creating your pages with is capable of using the FTP protocol. Also you will need to know your dial-up user ID and password with OLCS Net.
You will need to configure your software so that it knows what is your own homepage directory on our server. If your login user ID happens to be "joe.bloggs", then your homepage directory will be /usr/home/joe.bloggs/html
Once your software is properly configured, uploading of the web-pages should be relatively painless.
