| 571822 | 2007-07-23 11:45:00 | Hi, First of all, for the record, I think Clear.net "professional" webhosting is a total Total rip off. However, as this is an urgent job, my client needed to use their hosting. Now I am faced with their Appalling documentation and Terrible customer service. www.clear.net.nz Is the page. I don't have those programs (and I am on Windows xp... Not 3.1 or 95). I have set up an account as a "webmaster" or some such but it can't reach the connection. What are the credentials? ftp.domain.com? Doesn't work! Any ideas? |

| 571823 | 2007-07-23 18:33:00 | Ok, you'll make it a lot simpler for yourself if you download and install an FTP programme such as the one I recommend... WS_FTP LE - I've put a copy of this on my server (www.forcenz.com/downloads/ws_ftple.exe) where you can download it free. If you go this route I can give you the step-by-step setup info. But given that the job is urgent why not let someone set this up for you on a server like mine? Can be done within a day and probably be a lot cheaper and certainly less hassle. Drop me a PM if you'd like more info. |

| 571824 | 2007-07-23 20:18:00 | Hi, Thanks for your reply. I downloaded cuteftp (like it said in the documentation) but it didn't work. I have many other websites set up as sites (with ftp access) in Dreamweaver 8 which I use. I thought of pointing the domain to my server but it takes a while for the nameservers to change and it needs to be done by tonight. Do you use an IM program. Greg? |

But changing nameservers can happen within the day. And at worst you can make the site accessible immediately using a subdomain. When setting up CuteFTP ensure you've got the following information correct: Hostname/Address Host Type User ID Password Remember to give cuteftp access to the Internet in your firewall. |
