Publishing Business Web Pages


What is FTP?

FTP (File Transfer Protocol), a standard Internet protocol, is the simplest way to exchange files between computers on the Internet and is one way to update (delete, rename, move, and copy) files on a server. It can be used with a simple command line interface (for example, from the Windows MS-DOS Prompt window) or with a commercial program that offers a graphical user interface.

Why can't I login/upload with FTP?

When can I upload/publish my Web pages?

You may upload/publish your Web pages as soon as you receive the welcome message from our DNS Administrators. You should receive this message via e-mail from 24-48 hours after your order for Web hosting was placed. Seanet preconfigures your domain on our servers, so your Web pages will be visible to you as long as you are connected to the Internet through Seanet -- even before the registration or transfer process is completed by InterNIC. Your Web site pages not become visible to the rest of the Internet, however, until InterNIC has completed this process. If you'd like to check on the progress of your domain, you can do so by searching for your domain name in the Network Solutions’ database.
