FTP/WEB INSTRUCTIONS FOR TIER 1 ACCOUNTS
Chesapeake.Net
Tier 1 accounts come standard with
5 MB
of web storage space. To activate this storage area, please complete
this online form
. The storage space is accessible only to
the primary email user name and password
, so keep
this in mind if
you have more
than one email
account with
Chesapeake.Net
.
Your web site address is:
http://www.chesapeake.net/~username
(Again, where "username" is the email user name of the primary Tier 1 email account)
To upload files to this web address you will need an FTP client program, such as
CuteFTP
or any of the clients listed on the
CWS Applications page
(we recommend CuteFTP 3.0, but any client listed on CWS will work). Once you have downloaded and installed an FTP client, you will need to configure it to connect to
Chesapeake.Net
.
Please note the FrontPage Server Extensions are
NOT
available to Tier 1 customers.
The connection settings you will need to enter into your FTP program:
www.chesapeake.net
User ID:
FTP username (See Account Setup Information sheet)
Password:
FTP password (See Account Setup Information sheet)
Initial Remote Directory:
public_html
For instance, in CuteFTP 3.0, you would enter these settings like this:
-
First, click the Site Manger Button on the main button bar, as shown below.
-
Next, click the "Add site" button in the FTP Site Manager window.
-
Finally, enter all of the information as shown below, and click "OK."
Please Note:
Only files stored in the
"public_html"
subdirectory of your
Chesapeake.Net
account are visible via your web
site address. If this subdirectory does not exist in your root directory, create it manually with your FTP client. If you are
unsure how to create this directory using your FTP program, consult your client's online help, or contact Technical Support.
Directory names are case sensitive, and
Tier 1 accounts have a 5 MB limit
on the amount of data they can store in their
Chesapeake.Net
accounts.
Tier 1 users are not permitted to use CGI scripts of any kind on their personal web page, and there is a 100
MB limit on the amount of bandwidth your site can use.
If your site transmits any more than 100 MB per month, $10
per each additional 100 MB will be charged to your account.
Please contact us at
support@chesapeake.net

Chesapeake.Net
