1. Instructions For Uploading Your Web Pages using FTP - Page 2

04-03-2005, 04:16 PM

Has anyone had trouble logging in to change their member config?

I tried updating my email a/c's this afternoon (members.swiftdsl.com.au) and was greeted by redirection to a totally new site. I seem to be able to login but get the message "you don't have any active services" and thats as far as it goes, yet I am able to login to mail via the webmail interface without a problem and my website is running normally.

I then tried using WSFTP to upload a web page to see if that was working and that bombed out saying 'invalid user' or something similiar. It all worked fine when I logged in a few weeks ago.

Am I doing something wrong or did my config get screwed somehow following the 'improvements'.

No, I could change my member config and update my website. I haven't been here for a while, didn't know about the website change. There seem to be a few 'dead ends' where an empty window, or one with a java cup only is displayed.

Were you using ftp.people.net.au?

Mine still works with members.swiftdsl.com.au. Are you suggesting that the ftp address to upload to all web pages will change?

cheers

UPDATE: My login works with both ftp addresses.

PT_Ryan · 04-03-2005, 09:31 PM

Both addresses should work for uploading since it is the same host just a different DNS address.

Hi Everyone,
just a quick question... I've uploaded all my files into my webspace, into the html folder. the site is composed of html files loading swf(flash) files.
the index page loads just fine, but none of the linked pages work. the links from within the swf files call for the other html files and i've put them all in the html folder as well.
any idea anyone ?

Are you using links that are relative to the home page, e.g. './abc.swf'?
Try http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/
or download one of the many web page checking programs such as xenu http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html

OI have a similar problem when login in to my web space with my FTP client it used to work a couple of weeks agao now it doesn’t It just keeps coming back with Authentication failure. I HAVE changed both the email and web space passwords and have tried ftp.people.net.au and ftp.swiftdsl.com.au

vortexau · 16-04-2005, 01:36 PM

Use "view source", or the equivalent with YOUR browser, to ascertain just how a web page is constructed! At the lowest level it is just plain text, but laid out according to a simple formula.

First off, you should have a basic book on HTML at your fingertips . . . or a Web Page about page construction open on your browser.

The PLAIN text, NOT a Wordprocessor (with embedded formatting) document is saved with ".htm" or ".html" at the end of the filename. Commands for formatting are created within the document by using the Less-than and Greater-than symbols as brackets. These keys may be just to the right of the "M" key according to what keyboard you are using! The particular formatting command is cancelled after use by using the SAME command with a "/" (backslash) within those "<>" brackets, IE <b> turns on BOLD and </b> turns off BOLD!

Your initial Web Page should be called "index.htm" or "index.html".

The BEST practise is to create a source directory on your machine . . . just name it "html", and SAVE the TEXT (and Picture, and/or Sound files) within! Just create the layout here . . . test it on your browser . . . then UPLOAD the files when it works properly.

is there any trick to setting up ftp access using a service like file zilla

i am entering the details as:
username@ftp.people.net.au

and i get an error saying wrong syntax.

Anne1 · 06-07-2005, 07:11 PM

Hi gambit79,
to set up your connection using filezilla, just go to file -> site manager -> new site. Enter the details as:
Host: ftp.swiftdsl.com.au or ftp.people.net.au
user: the username associated with the account that you have specified in the peoplenet site (eg gambit79)
password: the password associated with that account on peoplenet

Save and exit and it should be up and going

hope this helps

Have been trying to log-in to my UserSpace using Filezilla - from existing saved settings that worked in the past - haven't accessed webspace for some time.

Keeps failing on password.

Accessed my settings and entered new password which seemed to be accepted - ftp access still fails on password.

Given that today is a public holiday, I don't expect a quick response.

Are there problems with UserSpace access?

Help please.

bill

Anne1 · 02-01-2006, 01:08 PM

Hi Bill,
I just accessed mine via Filezilla to test - does not appear to be a problem with access - I got straight in.
Just check that the password is valid for the email account that is correlated to your webspace - if you have more than one email account, it may be that you are putting in the password for another email account.
To check which account is correlated with your webspace, log into peoplenet, and go to Manage Your Services -> Webspace Management
If you have just changed your password for the correlating email account, you may have to wait for a system update for the password to be associated with the webspace as well - I am not too sure on this one - it may take a bit of time for the change of password to go over to the webspace.
Sorry I couldn't be much more help than that.

billb · 02-01-2006, 05:52 PM

Thanks for the reply Anne.

I've been using a "saved" setup in Filezilla for accessing my webspace, which always worked before - haven't used it for a while.

I get a "Response: 530 Authentication failed, sorry"
"Error:Unable to connect!"

error message.

My attempt to change my password seemed to work as there were no error messages, but apparently it didn't "take" as I still log into the email account appropriate to my webspace using my old password.

I can access my webspace via browser without problems.

I've tried both ftp.swiftdsl.com.au and ftp.people.net.au but neither work.

Had similar problems a few months ago when trying to create a new email account.

Bill

PT_Richard · 02-01-2006, 08:21 PM

Dear Bill,

There are no know problems with our systems, if your issue continues you should submit a support email via adslsupport@people.net.au.

Make sure you supply your:

ADSL number
Webspace Username & desired password (so we can test from your perspective)
Description of the issue with an appropriate subject.

Regards,

Richard

I am getting a problem with logging into my web space through Internet Explorer.

I enter the address ftp://[my username]@ftp.people.net.au and i get the following error:

200 Type is now ASCII
500 I won't open a connection to 192.168.2.100 (only 218.214.xxx.xxx)
500 Unknown command

PT_Richard · 08-02-2006, 04:18 PM

Hi,

In the start of the thread there is a IE specific hint about passive setting.

The issue is because of the way your adsl modem is NATing.

http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~joshmarks/
However, the file: shot0000.tga is an image.
Is there a program (FOR MAC) that allows creating HTML pages? So I can put my images onto it?

Thanks.

Hello when you don't use the default such as
index.htm and index.html ....which in most cases works depends which html file name you use.... if you don't use that above html file, you will see the whole ftp directory as is
http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~joshmarks

so ie you must use a web client as fontpage or others and link your graphics to is as with the main index (index.html)
http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~joshmar...Aug%20desk.jpg
as a link or to be visable on your main webpage (index.html)

but you have to have html code to link (using frontpage or same)
to that directory of files in http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~joshmarks/
the index.html blocks the access to this Dir and shows up as a webpage ect

Mostly all who are new at this finds the as a problem but for webmasters and others thats a base .....

(1) default is index.html or index.htm does not matter which it is
you can try to place a blank page in and see for your self ...

(2) if you remove the index.html or index.htm your web-directory will show its
self again

Don't forget you have-to relate all you images to your web-address BUT
NOT TO YOUR PC

hope it been of some help

I am having lots of trouble with WS_FTP95 LE my Settings so far...

Host Name/Address: ftp.people.com.au
Host Type: FTP PC/TCP
User ID: crib****
Password: *******
Initial Remote Site Folder: /remote.html
Remote Port: 21

I have tried different User ID's "11672**" "359838***"

Each time I try loggin in I am getting a:
530 Login Incorrect
!Login Failure

The different combinations of User ID's have yeilded no luck at this stage can anyone off a suggestion? I have gone through "Manage your Service" and down to "Web Space management" and set a user ID... This ID and the phone number id and the User Number have all been tried. People telecom have even reset the user id and password but I still can't access the FTP.

Any help would be wonderful I have an extra 30meg to play with and I am itching to be let loose...

Fletch

PT_Alan · 21-03-2006, 05:37 AM

Username is the email address username that you assign the webspace to. Nothing else. If I create an email account called alan, then assign the webspace to it, then the FTP user would be alan.

The password is the email address's password.

Regards,
Alan

Fletchba · 21-03-2006, 07:01 PM

Thank you for the reply Alan,

Yes this is what I have done. I have noticed one mistake

Host Name/Address: ftp.people.com.au should be ftp.people.net.au
Host Type: FTP PC/TCP
User ID: crib****
Password: *******

The user ID is the email address and the password is the correct one.
Now I am getting a different error:
530 Authentication Failed, sorry
! Logon Failure, so quitting

I just don't seem to have any luck.... 50meg of webspace going to waste..
Help me!

Fletch

Ronald · 24-03-2006, 10:15 AM

should it be ftp.people.net.au

Sorry didn't see your correction

bms · 12-07-2006, 07:14 AM

Hi All,

Maybe I am doing something wrong here, so I thought I'd ask (I have seen similar posts to my problem, but as far as I can see no real solutions)...

I have set up the web space as per the instructions. When I list the account details in the people telecom intranet the account that I created is there.

However, when I want to logon to FTP my stuff to the server, it says that the authentiaction has failed. I have reset the password several times, but the server keeps throwing me out stating that the password is incorrect (user name is however accepted).

Below the details of the FTP "conversation":
FTP < 220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd 1.0.14 ----------
FTP < 220-You are user number 4 of 60 allowed.
FTP < 220-Local time is now 05:30 and the load is 0.21. Server port: 21.
FTP < 220-This is a private system - No anonymous login
FTP < 220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity.
FTP > USER jo****
FTP < 331 User jo**** OK. Password required
FTP > PASS ***
FTP < 530 Authentication failed, sorry
FTP > 530 Authentication failed, sorry
FTP - Login failure (check user name and password). (655)
FTP > QUIT

Does anybody know what I am doing wrong here or what I should do??

Thanks for and and all help...

Paul

Anne1 · 12-07-2006, 08:39 AM

Hi Paul,
the password you are using - make sure that you are using the password for the email account associated with the webspace (the same password that you put into your email client when you set up the email account, not your password to get into peoplenet.

If that password is not working, send me a PM with your name, address, ADSL connected number, the email account associated with the password and the desired password, and I'll get it reset for you.

Anne1 · 12-07-2006, 09:47 AM

Paul - please check your PM's (top right hand corner - click on "Private Messages"

fugitive2480 · 02-08-2006, 08:29 PM

I get exactly the same 530 error.

I have lost count of the number of times I have set and reset the password in email and associated webspace accounts. It is the same as I registered here with and this works.

I have never had such a frustrating experience in getting webspace activated. I knows I have an account but will not authenticate the password.

Hi fugitive,
can you please PM me your details (name, address, ADSL connected number, email account that you have associated with your webspace, and the password you wish to use,) and I'll get engineering to have a look at it for you.

PT_Richard · 03-08-2006, 09:52 AM

Hi fugitive2480,

I have reset the password for fugitive2480 to your ADSL#

Manage your passwords via the Email Management section in PeopleNet.

Still find it frustrating that I cannot get this to work myself and I hold a BSc (Hons) in Computer Network Engineering !!!

G'day

This was the most relevant thread I could find for my query?

I've been trying to install blogging software (b2evolution) but I've been having trouble getting it to install once I've uploaded the files to the host.
For example whenever I try to update the config files it keeps giving me this error:

MySQL error!
Error establishing a database connection!

You can check it at
http://home.people.net.au/~DuanesMin...tall/index.php

The information I have been providing on this page is
MySQL Username: uXXXXXXXXXX
MySQL Password: XXXXXX
MySQL Database: dbXXXXXXXXXX
MySQL Host: localhost
Base URL: http://home.people.net.au/~DuanesMind/blogs/
Your email: [my mail]@people.net.au

Not sure what esle to do?

[edited 30 Oct]
Never mind. I solved the problem - sort of - by using Word Press instead of b2evo. No problems at all with Word Press.

Thanks for your help!
