Uploading Problems

Trying to upload my personal web page to the Net, I need to confirm/correct my FTP Server Name, the Subfolder containing my web pages on my FTP Server, and the URL for my home root on my web server.  Where do I get that info, and what is the format each answer requires (i.e. is the FTP Server name pages.prodgy.com)?  Thank you.  ....Like your site, by the way.

what server are you using?

Well, that's part of the problem, I guess. I'm using Prodigy Internet as my IPS. If that doesn't answer what server I'm using, then I need to know how I determine that, too!  Thanks!
I don't know exectly because I don't have Prodigy, but I have to log on to AOL to put up a web site on AOL.  My sugguet is to send a email to support@prodigy.com or go to the help area on prodigy then you may find the answer online or find a email address to send to. Sorry about a not direct answer.  One of my friends have Prodigy I will try to ask them were to send email, but please try what a said first.
CYO,

I've been asked to grade your response or ask for clarification, and while I appreciate your effort, I've done what you ask, which is what led me here. I'd like to wait to rate your reply to seeif your friend on Prodigy can help answer this...thanks. Also, it might help if you could tell me what the answers to my questions would be if I wee on AOL. I may be able to substitute Prodigy's info for AOL's if I know what info and what ormat they're looking for.  Thanks again!
The simplest way to answer your question is to contact Prodigy themselves.  If as you say you have already done that and have not received any help then I suggest that you change your ISP, as it is their responsibility to inform you how to use your account.


Your provider should have given you an ID and a password (could be one you chose yourself). When logging in on the FTP-site use these to identify yourself and you'll be in the right directory.
The FTP-adress will probably be something like FTP.PRODIGY.COM or something like that.
Good luck.
You would-be experts are all guessing at answers! Don't any of you "experts" know how to research anything? Pick up the phone, or look something up.....this "Gee, this is what works for me" stuff is complete malarky, hardly a source of expertise. An authority knows what he or she doesn't know, and goes to someone who KNOWS (vs. someone else who's guessing -- I can do that). The organizers of this web site, and it's alleged experts, seem to me more interested in rating and scoring points with off-the-top-of-the-head "expertise" than with really helping. This is a good idea gone awry.
Hello coyboyswin,

  Each of the above have REALLY givin you the answer.  Only
your ISP knows your "http://directory" address so that others can't access it.  Changes are in your root directory you also have a choice of directory with the extension "htm" and that is
where you would place your webpage, IF you have the http to
YOUR directory, again, which you can only get from your server.
No one hear could possibly know that.  This Exchange is for
questions for AFTER you know the basics supplied by your ISP.

  Hope this clears things up...
