Giant's Web Site.
To upload your files to our web server, you need
to first have an FTP program. We recommend WSFTP. You should
already have WS_FTP installed if The Friendly Giant setup your machine
for you.
WS_FTP

Properties" window. Click on the button labelled "New ". Under
the "Profile Name" field, enter a name for you to remember the Site by..ie
"The Friendly Giant FTP Server". Under this there is a field labelled
"Host Name/Address", type in users.giant.net.au in the host address
field. Leave Host Type on "Automatic Detect"; The next field is "User
ID" this is for your loginame/username with The Friendly Giant. The
next field is "Password" be sure to untick the "Anonymous" tickbox then
enter your password for your Friendly Giant Internet Account.
Then click "OK".
After a while you will see text on the right hand
side of the screen under "Remote File System", this means you are connected
and can down/upload files by double-clicking them or using the "->" and
"<-" buttons.
CuteFTP
Open CuteFTP, you will probably be presented
with a list of sites. Click on the button labelled "Add Site".
Under the "Site Label" field, enter a name for you to remember the Site
by..ie "The Friendly Giant FTP Server". Under this there is a field
labelled "Host Address", type in users.giant.net.au in the host
address field. The next field is "User ID" this is for your loginame/username
with The Friendly Giant. The next field is "Password"..enter your
password for your Friendly Giant Internet Account. Then click
"OK".
Highlight your new entry in the list on the right
hand side of the screen and click "Connect".
You can now upload any files you wish to.
Please Note: The first page
of your web site must be called default.htm or
index.htm
Now when you want to see your webpage, all you need
to do is point your browser at: http://www.giant.net.au/users/yourusername/
