OK. I need some webspace - I'm not prepared to pay a penny, but I don't want any banner ads or pop ups. Anyone know of any good webspace providers?

Also - any place where I can get a small nice counter would go down a treat.

Cheers!

most isp's provide their users with a small amount of webspace which comes in the cost of your subscription, usually only 5mB or so but it's something. so check with them if you do[n't] have webspace.

fasttrack provide counters for free it think, i forget the adress. so yeah.

what's it all for?

I have webspace but I can't get crappy CuteFTP top upload anything to it. And I'm pretty certain I'm using it right.

The cause - I'm making an anal personal website.

Thanks for your help.

OK, I gave up on my ISP's space and opted for envy.nu which I must say strikes me as a bit of a girly host, but hey, this is the eighties.

And in order to boycott globablisation and big business and all that I went with a linkexchange.com counter. (Ha.)

the website of your host doesn't have an FAQ page or an FTP HELP page to make sure you have the right address and username/pw in there?

try WS-FTP-LE, it's free (get it on http://www.download.com ) and it's easy and cool to use.

And if you got a socket error it's prolly because either you can't access ftp services on your computer or that the ftp server you're trying to reach hasn't a correct address. Usually, the address is like ftp.thewebspace.com.
If you have to specify a port number, select 21 (FTP)

don't give in to peer pressure, just because it's cool to use it, doesn't mean you HAVE to use it.

What's wrong Kenny? Don't you like peer pressure? What kind of a freak are you? Everyone's doing it these days. You're missing out. Loser.
