Website Uploading

How do I upload my homepages to your server?

You will need to get a program that supports file transfer protocol (ftp). You use this program to connect to our server with your login name and password. Once you are connected to the server, you can transfer your files up to the server, and they will be visible to the world. We have setup instructions for ws_ftp and cuteftp for PC, or you can use Fetch or Anarchie for Macintosh.  View the Flash tutorial for ws_ftp.

What is the server I need to connect to?

If your site is on our linux server (applies for standard hosting plans), the server you need to connect to is ftp.cia.com.au (or ftp.host1.com.au or ftp.yourdomain.com.au).

If your site is on our windows server (specifically windows hosting plans), then you will need to connect to either gamera.host1.com.au, or ftp.yourdomain.com.au. There are some more details for uploading to our windows server here

How do I change file permissions using my FTP client?

All your directories should have permission mode 755, as should all your executable cgi scripts. Ordinary html files can be permission mode 644.
In WS_FTP: right click on the file and choose "FTP commands", then "SITE". Type in:
chmod 755 filename.html
and press OK.
In CuteFTP: right click on the file and choose "Change File Attributes". In the manual section type 755 and press OK.
In Fetch: click on the file; choose "Remote", "Set Permissions"; for Owner, tick all three boxes; for Everyone, tick Read and Search/Execute; press OK.
In Anarchie: click on the file; choose "FTP", "Send FTP Command"; type in
site chmod 755 filename.html
and press OK.
