Internet Connection Properties

 

Internet Connection Properties.

Server Name

Enter the name of your server. This name should be something meaningful, to remind you which server you are using.

Sever Address

Enter the server address. The Server is the computer that you connect to when you want to browse the Internet, it also displays your web pages to anyone who visits your Website. For example, a server address might be: www.woodnet.com

Login

Your login name is given to you by your ISP (Internet Service Provider- the company that gets you connected). Your login name and password uniquely identify who you are when it comes to uploading your work. ISPs don't want just anyone uploading to their Server!

Password

Enter your Password. Your password is provided by your ISP.

Default Directory

Your server looks in this directory to find your webpages when a visitor wants to view them. The usual directory is public_html or www. Your ISP should have told you the name of this directory.

Port Number

The usual Port Number is 21. Don’t change this default value unless your ISP tells you to do so.

Time-out

The Time Out time determines how long HotDog tries to log on to your server.

Keep Connection Active

The Keep Connection Alive option keeps the connection to your server active, even when you are not uploading or downloading any data. You may not want this option if your Internet connection is pay per minute.
