The first thing you will probably want to do with your One World account is begin
uploading your site. There are many good ways to upload web pages, images, and
other site files. We'll focus on the most popular tools here: FTP programs, the
File Manager from your account Control Panel, and integrated upload utilities
in programs like Frontpage and Dreamweaver. No matter which method you choose,
you can upload and download files 24 hours a day, as often as you like.

Uploading files - Overview
However you choose to connect to your OWH account, you will need the following
pieces of information from your Welcome letter to get started:
Your User Name........(case sensitive)
Your Password..........(case sensitive)
Your Host Address.... yourdomain.com or your IP address
("IP address" is the numerical address assigned to every account.
For the first few days, until your domain name is registered or transferred, this
will be the only way you can connect.
Account structure:
 |
yourdomain-logs |
- Daily and archived/compressed raw access log files |
 |
yourdomain-mail |
- Mail area for your domain (no need to touch this!) |
 |
yourdomain-secure |
- same as the WWW folder |
 |
yourdomain-webmail |
- Sent mail storage for webmail |
 |
yourdomain-www |
- same as the WWW folder |
 |
www |
- "Public" directory - where your site files will go |
CAUTION - NEVER DELETE ANY OF THESE "TOP" DIRECTORIES.
When you upload your site to the Internet, you will want to make sure that
you name your home page index.html, as this is how our system will recognize your
page. Other default pages are actually feasible (index.htm, default.htm, index.phtml),
but the default "Coming Soon" page that comes with every new account
is named index.html, and will not be replaced unless it is specifically deleted
or overwritten by your own index.html.
As soon as a file is uploaded to the web server, it is available for all to
see. If, after uploading a file, you are still unable to see the updated file
via your browser, try hitting the "Refresh" or "Reload" button.
Some browsers - particularly Netscape - have very tenacious "caches"
- places where pages are temporarily stored on your computer. You may need to
manually empty your browser cache to see a new or updated page on your site.

FrontPage extensions:
If you're going to use FrontPage to create and upload your site you must "turn
on" the FrontPage extensions in your user control panel (yourdomainname.com/menu),
click the MS Frontpage icon, then "Install FrontPage."
