NOTE: The first page must be named "index.html".  This will be first page automatically served when someone accesses your personal web page from the Internet.

Publishing your page to 618Connect's server:
Web Page editing programs use the terms "Publish" or FTP (File Transfer Protocol) when talking about moving the Web documents from your computer to our Server.  These programs will need specific information to make the Publishing of your Web Page work correctly.

ServerName:
Enter the name "618connect.com"
UserName or AccountName:
Enter the username and password you have setup with 618Connect to dial into our system
Destination Directory or Path:
Type a "/" (forward slash) for the destination directory

To View Your Page:
You can now view your published web page by using the URL address of http://618connect.com/~username/.  Replace the username part with the same user/account name you used to publish your page.  If the 'index.html' file did not get publish correctly, the web server will return a "Forbiden" page.  You should call tech support if you have difficulties publishing your page.

Personal Data Storage Space
You don't have to use the storage space for just web pages.  Store pictures, presentations, and have them available to you from anywhere on the internet.

Every user may also make use of his/her personal space for temporary storage and transfer of files between computers.  This service offers better support to roaming users that access network services through different work-stations.

In order to transfer files from your local machine to our server you will need an FTP software client to upload/download your files.  One easy to use ftp program is WSFTP. The "Home" shareware version is available at
