300 MB bandwidth limit is reached, provided that is all there is on the Personal WebSpace.
How are files uploaded to Personal WebSpace using FTP (File Transfer Protocol)?
An FTP client, which is software that allows one to move files from a computer to Personal WebSpace, can be used to upload files.
Is Personal WebSpace case sensitive?
Yes, Personal WebSpace is case sensitive. If the URL is ever included in Personal WebSpace as a link on other Web pages, or in Emails or other files, it should be typed in lower case only. An example of the correct format is http://members.Suddenlink.net/username
| |
The following will not work:
http://members.Suddenlink.net/USERNAME/ and http://members.Suddenlink.net/UserName/ are both incorrect as they are not all lowercase. Also note that all references that are made in web pages to a file, such as a graphic, must be made in the same case as the filename. Example: If there is a picture named IMAGE.jpg in the Personal WebSpace folder, it must link to that picture using the same case.
The correct way to link to that image would be:
http://members.Suddenlink.net/username/IMAGE.jpg Using http://members.Suddenlink.net/username/image.jpg or http://members.Suddenlink.net/username/Image.JPG will not work |
How does one log in to Personal WebSpace with the FTP client?
Each FTP client is different. For details on using an FTP client, refer to the specific instructions provided with the FTP client. When
the FTP client asks for the FTP login information, use the same information used to log into the Suddenlink High Speed Internet
Email account. Example: If Email address is johndoe@Suddenlink.net, login name is johndoe. The password is the same as the password that is used to check email and log into your account.
