FTP Setup

Please note that you must request your domain to be activated. Domains will not be activated automatically. Please call 732-704-1000 for domain activation.

If you would like your website uploaded to the monmouth.com domain, please apply.

These FTP instructions are for Unix only.

1. Once you are notified that your domain is activated continue from here. Keep in mind domains are permitted up to 50MB of space and 5000MB of traffic per month.
2. You can now use any FTP program to upload your html files to your domain directory.
   Windows users, If you do not have a FTP application: Download FileZilla. Macintosh users can use Fetch.
   • Host Name: www2.monmouth.com
   • Upload Directory Path for documents: www/docs
   • Upload Directory Path for scripts: www/cgi-bin
   • Directory Path for log files: log/httpd/
   • Make sure you upload your html files in ASCII mode.

   Try accessing it via the Web. Open the URL:
   http://www.domainname.com or http://domainname.com

3. Make sure to name your primary HTML file to index.html. This way it will automatically load when anyone tries to view your webpage URL.

Take a tutorial about writing html (e.g., W3C School's HTML Tutorial), look at other people's home pages, be creative! NOTE: There are many HTML editors surfacing throughout the WWW, if you would prefer to create your page on your local personal computer with such an editor and then upload it to this server, that is fine. However, please remember to end the file name in '.html' so that the server and browser can recognize it as an HTML document, and remember to make the file readable for all.
