personal web space

Every dialup account from Leapfrog comes with 10M of personal web space. To setup your personal web space, please email your request to our support department at support@leapmail.net. We will provision the personal web space for you and send you personalized instructions on how to access it. Here are the general instructions to follow:

INFO in RED will change by user…

FTP Host Name: members.leapmail.net
FTP Server Username: yourusername
FTP Server Password: yourpassword

Once you have created a home page and you want to post it on our servers, you can upload it by following the steps listed below (for FTP programs).

Note: Before uploading your home page, make sure its file name is index.html. The uploaded page will appear at http://members.leapmail.net/yourusername/index.html.

Launch your FTP application, wait for the FTP prompt.
Type open <members.leapmail.net>, press Return or Enter.
Type your user name when asked for login name, then press Return or Enter.
Type your password when asked for password, then press Return or Enter.
Type cd /web, press Return or Enter. This takes you to the directory for your site home page.
Type put <path>/index.html, press Return or Enter. This uploads the file.
(<path> stands for the directory location of your home page file on your local disk, and index.html should be the actual name of the file containing your Home page.)
Type quit, then press Return or Enter. This terminates the file transfer session.
Done!


Your web page(s) will then be viewed from the URL: http://members.leapmail.net/~yourusername.

TIP: Make sure your index.html page is in the folder named Web. Images must also be stored in the /web folder!

To publish via FrontPage:
After you have created your web page(s), and are ready to send your pages to your web space:

1. Click on File, then Publish Web.
2. Type in the following string:

ftp://members.leapmail.net/~yourusername

Then, type in your username and password when prompted. Your pages will then be transferred to our server.


For additional information, please refer to Microsoft FrontPage Help from within the software, or refer to these notes:

Publish a web using FTP:
Publish the files in the current web when you are ready to present your web for public viewing, or when you want to update the files in your web on a remote web server.

Publish using FTP (File Transfer Protocol):
You will need to know the FTP server name and directory path. The FTP server name is the domain name of the Web server to which you are publishing (for example, ftp.server.com). The directory path is the folder on the server where your web is stored (for example, /public_html). If you are unsure about your user name, password, or FTP location, contact your Internet service provider.

Before you publish your web, you can specify which pages you want to publish. Then, when you publish your web, you have the following options:

· Publish only the files that have changed. FrontPage compares the files on your computer to the files on the Web server, and only those files that are newer than those on the Web server are published. However, files that have been marked Don't Publish will not be published.

· Publish all files, except those that have been marked Don't Publish. The files from the local web will overwrite all files on the destination Web server, even if the files on the Web server are newer.

· Publish subwebs, if the current web has subwebs. All files and folders in subwebs will be recursively published in addition to those files and folders in the current web.

1. On the File menu, click Publish Web.
2. Click Options to expand the list of options.
3. Specify whether you want to publish only pages that have changed, or all pages.
4. To publish subwebs, select the Include subwebs check box.
5. In the Specify the location to publish your web to box, type the location of an FTP Web server (for example, ftp://ftp.server.com/public_html), or click the arrow to select a location to which you have published before.

Clicking Browse to find the folder on the server where your web is stored is not recommended for FTP publishing because you will need to navigate through a folder structure which might be unclear.

· Click Publish.

FrontPage publishes your web. By browsing to your web, you can verify that your web was successfully published.

If you are publishing to a Web server that does not run the FrontPage Server Extensions, you will be notified if your web contains any features that require the server extensions.

If you cancel publishing in the middle of the operation, files that have already been published remain on the destination Web server.
