Setting up your Personal Homepage
As part of your personal dial-up account to the Internet, you are
entitled to the use of up to 5 MegaBytes of disk space on our Internet server for storage
of your e-mail messages and personal web pages.
To access your personal home page directory, you will need to
use a FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client to connect to our FTP server (ftp.egl.net).
If you do not have FTP client software, a good one is WS_FTP LE. This is available
at Download.com.
Once you have this set up and are dialed into our system,
you need to login to ftp.egl.net with your username and password (the same username and
password you use to dial in). Once you have established the FTP connection, you will be in
the correct directory for you to upload your personal home pages (with graphics, maps,
etc.).
Note that there is a directory called "Incoming"
or "Inbox". DO NOT add, delete or change entries in this
directory as this is your e-mail directory. If you delete files from that directory, you
will be deleting E-mail that you haven't read yet. Please remember this!!! There is NO WAY
to get your E-mail message back if you have deleted them.
STAY OUT OF THE INCOMING DIRECTORY !!!
After uploading your home pages, you can access them
on the World Wide Web by opening location http://www.egl.net/users/<your-login-name>. Your home page should be called default.htm if you want
this to work this way. For example, if your login name is johndoe, you would open
http://www.egl.net/users/johndoe/.
If you have any problems doing this, please send email to: webmaster@egl.net
