I'm an idiot and need help with web page hosting
#5
OMG I'm so confused! I think reading Dave's site made me more confused than ever.

I go here: (not sure if people w/out Cox as their provider can see this page)

Quote:http://usercenter.cox.net/rsuite/sdcuser...A0WebSpace

I activated my personal web space:

Quote:http://members.cox.net/meat

Then I go to:

Quote:http://usercenter.cox.net/rsuite/sdcuser/default.jsp

It basically tells me I need to use an FTP Client Software, but I don't know what it's talking about! Am I supposed to be in my web space at this point? When I try and go to my web site, it says 403 Forbidden.

While searching the support web site, I found links to FTP guides which I will try reading tomorrow, but I don’t understand how to even get into my site to put the information in. There is also a download software page, but *all* those programs don't mean anything to me. Oh well, I'm off to bed now. Tomorrow is another day.

EDIT - Okay, I am an idiot. On the web space web page after I logged into my cox.net account, it lists my web space URL and dirrectly next to it says MANAGE/DELETE. Now when I click on manage, there is a bunch of files already in there. Should I delete them? Time to read up on FTP I guess.

EDIT #2 - Having trouble sleeping. Need to solve problem! I figured out how to upload stuff to my site, but now according to Daves site, I need an index.html. Easy enough, but what's supose to be inside the index?
