Start up your FTP program.
Log on using the following information:
The HOST NAME is: ftp.btinternet.com
The HOST TYPE (if needed) is:UNIX (standard)
The USER ID is: youremailname(in lower case)
The PASSWORD is your: e-mailbox password.
Remember that it is case sensitive.
Transfer your home page files from your computer to the server.
If you do not know how to do this, look at the Help section of the FTP program you are using.
Type in your URL into a Web browser to test that your home page is working.
In our example, this would be: http://www.btinternet.com/~smith.family or http://www.smith.family.btinternet.co.uk (see Virtual Domains).
If your Web browser cannot find the page, check the URL carefully.
Remember that URLs - like passwords - are case sensitive, so smith.family is not the same as Smith.Family. Note also that spaces are not valid characters in a URL.
The ~ character is called a tilde, and is above the # (hash) key on a PC keyboard.
