Anyone Using Verizon DSL

[this_is_nascar]

For anyone that's a subscriber to Verizon DSL. Does our subscription allow us any webspace and/or webpage? If so, how do you access it?

Ok, now that I have been able to at least access my homepage (default), how would I use it to store images and pictures? Is it as simple as uploading the images and give someone the link? I'd like to be able to upload pictures, send someone a link and have that picture or series of pictures come up.

Thanks John. I think I was able to get that to work.

Yes, the most simple approach is to upload the pictures and then people could view them by using the correct link.

As a minimum, you probably should make folders and then organize the pictures by folders. That way you can give someone the link to the folder and then they can browse the images.

To get a bit fancier, you would want to create pages with HTML. This can be fairly easy if you use the "file/edit page" features of browsers like Netscape. You can build the page and then upload it.

If you upload an HTML page called "index.html", it will become the default page if you go to that location.

That is to say, if you have a directory with the following files:

myweblocation/ (main directory/folder)
myweblocation/index.html
myweblocation/arcaaa (subdirectory/folder)
myweblocation/arcaaa/arcaaafront.jpg

If you specify the link:
http://myweblocation
you get the contents of what is in index.html

If you specify the link:
http://myweblocation/arcaaa
It will show you the arcaaa directory, including the picture and it will allow you to click on the picture.

If you specify the link:
http://myweblocation/arcaaa/arcaaafront.jpg
It will display the picture.

Well, I had a hard drive crash and have finished getting most everything back working. I'm trying to setup WS-FTP to allow me to upload picture to my Verizon webspace. What URL do I use to connect to my web directories?

this_is_nascar, I'm not on verizon, so this may or may not help, but when I send data to my road runner site via FTP, I connect in the manner "[email protected]".

In the Hostname/address line: mysite.verizon.net
Host type: Autodetect
Enter your user account ID and password in the required fields.

At least this is how ws_ftp is configured for my Verizon account. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Got it. Thanks for the help guys.

When you get pictures, post a link so I can use it as an example. I have done so once a while ago and I had to fpt the pictures to the site and it was a pain to get it to work. I hope Verizon has made the process much easier.
