Computer Help (Here we go again)

[Eagle]

Ladies and gents, it's a conspiracy I tell you.

Sit rep: computers (one for me, one for the wife) are both running. That's the good news.

The problem: My wife's cousin in Chile is trying to sell her house. I took a bunch of photos and, with assistance, created a web-based slide show and description of the property. A friend of a Jeep & friend worked out the bugs and gave it all back to me on a CD. It runs just fine from the CD.

My ISP is AT&T. I am entitled to a personal web page on AT&T. I have registered for it, and they offer me two ways to upload the files. Neither way works. (One is an on-line file copy, the other is FTP.) And AT&T has gotten so institutionalized that their on-line help is not helpful, but there is no number to call for real assistance.

Does anyone out there in -land use AT&T as their ISP? If so, have you used PWP? How the heck do I upload this stuff so people can see cousin Cecilia's house?

OK, couple of basic things, *somewhere* on your space on AT&T's site you will have a directory called 'public_html' thats where the pics have to go unless you have a subdirectoy inside public_html called pics.
You *should* be able to use a normal FTP program [ws_ftp] available at all the download sites to upload all your files. Do you still have a dial up or did you get broadband ? If you are still on dial up this could get painful, in which case you might want to visit the pocono's on sunday and get it done in a few minutes..it will save you time in the long run

Ummm, thanks ... I think. How does Photobucket help me upload my web pages to AT&T? I'm not looking for photo hosting, I have text pages that make up this melange.

I'm not sure this is correct, but this is what I've been able to find.....

It looks like you need to use secure a secure ftp client. Here's a list (near bottom) that they recommend.

http://home.att.net/ftp_anywhere.html


With the ftp software, you will be connecting to ftp://upload.att.net.

You will need to provide your ID(eagle?) and password.

Transfer the files.

Your webspace will be stored http://home.att.net/~ID ( e.g. http://home.att.net/~eagle )
