As we are responsible for the reliability and stability of your website and email systems, we are careful when it comes to modifying software and the operating system. We make every attempt to test any patches or upgrades to the servers for proper compatibility, however new and unnoticed bugs may become visible from time-to-time and we will rectify these situations as they occur, which may require cooperation from appropriate third party vendors. When new security holes are identified and new patches are released, we will generally apply those types of patches or upgrades expeditiously, following internal quality assurance and verification testing.

There are several reasons, one may be that your FTP client may or may not be using passive mode. Toggle passive mode if you are receiving the blocking call errors and if you are behind a Cable/ DSL router that has firewall functions built in that may be in use.

Make sure your main page (the first page you want people to see when they put your domain name in the URL) is titled "index.html" or "index.php". The name of this file should be in all lowercase letters. It cannot be named "INDEX.HTML" or "Index.htm" or "Index.html". Make sure that you uploaded the pages in the correct directory, usually wwwroot.

Your file extensions will help guide you with this and most FTP client programs will auto-detect the transfer type. If your files are readable in a text editor such as Notepad, you can safely upload them in ASCII mode, if the programs are compiled or executable programs such as pre-compiled CGI scripts (written in C for example), audio or video files (.mov, .ra, .avi, etc) should be uploaded in binary mode.

There are several FTP programs you can use. Below is a list of several popular FTP programs.
1) CuteFTP
2) FlashFXP
3) WSFTP_LE

FTP client configurations are somewhat different, use the below as an outline:
Host Name/Address: ftp.mydomain.com
Host Type: Automatic detect
User ID: Username (refer to your "Welcome letter")
Password: Password (refer to your "Welcome letter")
Click the "OK" and/or "Apply" buttons
Once you click OK, you'll connect to the server.
You will see a folder named mainwebsite_html; double click on that folder to change directories (or "cd" to /var/www/html) to the main web root of your site. This is where you would upload your html files. If you have an account level that allows CGI access, your cgi-bin will be located at /var/www/cgi-bin.
/var/www/cgi-bin - Upload any cgi-scripts or executable files here.
mainwebsite_html (or /var/www/html) - You MUST upload all your files to this directory in order for your website to be seen on the web. You need to name your default page "index.html". This is the page that people will see when someone accesses your website. Remember, it needs to be in all lowercase letters. You can NOT use Index.html or default.htm
Back to Top
If you requested FrontPage extensions to be installed, you should not use FTP or any other method of uploading to your html files. By doing so, you could cause errors to occur on your website. You should also never edit or FTP the ".htaccess" files, any "*_vti" directories or any other FrontPage extensions. Doing so will corrupt your extensions
Back to Top
Your FTP client program will have built into it the ability to CHMOD. This is UNIX speak for making a file executable. Locate the CHMOD capability of your FTP program and then select the file you need to make executable, then click the CHMOD button (or however your FTP client program accomplishes this) and set the file to be executable using the numbers 755 or click the "x" box in first of the three columns of numbers that may be listed.
For example, using CuteFTP you would connect to the remote host you wish to upload files to and/or CHMOD selected files. Locate or upload the file you wish to CHMOD and then right click on the filename, then click on the 'Properties' text. Towards the bottom of the window you will see the 'Attributes' field and CHMOD value. Set the CHMOD value or select the individual attributes you wish to enable for the file selected. Once you are finished, click 'OK' on the bottom and you should be set!
