PLEASE NOTE: Your webpage address will be http://www.linknet.com.au/yourloginname
PLEASE NOTE: This service has limited online support only.
These instructions show how to upload the home page you have written
to your webspace on Linknet using WS_FTP LE. You are free to use
whichever FTP program you like, however if you have never uploaded
a web page before, we recommend using WS_FTP LE as it is very easy
to use.
Before you Start
You need to make sure your webspace has been enabled by us before
you can upload your page. If you are sure it has been, then go ahead.
If it has not been, or you are not sure, email Support at
support@linknet.com.au.
Setting up WS_FTP LE
After downloading and installing WS_FTP LE from here
, you will need to set up the program as shown in the following
two images.

On the General tab: Put your Linknet username
and password in the specified area (this is the same username and
password you use to dialin to Linknet)

On the Startup tab: Do not put anything in the
Initial Remote Directory. When you log in with your username and
password, it will take you directly to your home directory. Just
upload your files here.

Once you have connected properly you should be able to upload files
by selecting them in the "local" side of the screen, then
clicking the arrow pointing to the right to transfer them to the
remote side.
You can also make remote directories and upload to them as well.
This allows you to have subpages within your homepage. For example,
if you wanted http://www.linknet.com.au/yourname/cars/ you should
upload to /cars for it to show.
Once properly uploaded, you can view your homepage on the internet
by typing http://www.linknet.com.au/yourusername into your internet
browser (replace yourusername with your Linknet username).
Common Questions
- I uploaded my page, but I can not see it!
Make sure that the first page of your site is named index.htm
or index.html in lowercase. If they are not, the server does not
know which page is the first page. It is also case sensitive,
so it must be in lowercase letters.
- I do not like WS_FTP, I want to use something else,
what do I do?
You can use whatever program you like to upload your page. Just
use www.linknet.com.au as the server name, log in with your username
and password.
