I have a: 1)Login ID 2)Password 3)IP 4)Local Host I am using cute FTP to access to the server. I managed to access the server using the 1), 2), 3) Information. What is the Local host IP address used for. When I got into the server there are no folders in it, does it mean that the server is not configured to support a .htm file?. Your help is kindly appreciate. Regards FiatLink

I am not sure where you got the local host item or what it is. If it is an IP address, it could be your IP address. I would just disregard it. If you can login, all you need to do is upload your html files, images, etc and you should be good to go.

Well, I guess that you in fact succeeded in "getting in" the FTP space opened for you on the remote host (server). You should begin transfering your files. Try to start with a sample HTM(L) file containing PHP code, for example, or directly phpinfo(), to see which feautures are enabled on the server (databases, versions of various modules, redirect_module and such) The redirection you wanted to perform may be achieved in various ways : - usually this is done at the registrar's level where you bought mydomain.tld ; the server you access is configured to be <A HREF="http://www.mydomain.tld">www.mydomain.tld</a>, IMHO, so you shouldn't redirect anything anywhere else. - you may use systems like <A HREF="http://www.hebergement-gratuit.org">www.hebergement-gratuit.org</a> to achieve an invisible general redirect of your trafic (usually, this means you don't have a host configured for domain name <A HREF="http://www.mydomain.tld">www.mydomain.tld</a> but a free ISp somewhere else) : you put a small page bearing two frames, one invisible, the other with an SRC=<A HREF="http://your.real.pages">http://your.real.pages</a> and the trick is done -Depending on the scripting/web language you found on the server (say, you find PHP) there are other ways to redirect the trafic, either by using header("Location: gnagnagna"); calls, or by setting the right (try google for details) HTTP_META_* stuff in the HTML HEAD section, or javascript..., or... possibilities are infinite.

Is there a perl script that will allow redirection to another website when I type the current domain name?. for example, I type <A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com">www.hotmail.com</a> and the script will redirect me to <A HREF="http://www.yahoo.com">www.yahoo.com</a>. Regards FiatLink

Try hitting the host name by ip address or by the hostname (<A HREF="http://www.whatever.com">www.whatever.com</a>) . If there are no files in the directory, it just might mean that you need to put files there. Try making a HTML file and all it index.htm and upload it. Then in your web browser try accessing that page. <A HREF="http://hostname/index.htm">http://hostname/index.htm</a> If you do not see this your website may not be correctly pointing to the directory where your files are being uploaded.
