You can also use the space to promote your home outdoor business, create a family web site, or just start a site for you favorite outdoor fun.

MyOAN! Personal Web Pages is a FREE service offered to all MyOAN! customers. This allows you to create your own personal Home Page. Your homepage will be "hosted" or stored on our server.  Simply by typing in your personal URL or "address", visitors to your Web site will be able to view any information and/or graphics you put on your page(s).  MyOAN! offers up to 5 MB of web space.

Setup Your Page :

If your userID is “myoanuser”, your Web page URL will be: “http://members.myoan.net/~myoanuser“ (enter your user name and use .com if you have a filtered account).  You can create your homepage using any html editor or webpage designing program. After creating the html files, you will need to upload your pages and files using FTP (File Transfer Protocol). Note: The filename for your start page must be “index.html”

FTP:

You have unlimited access via FTP 24-hours a day. We recommend using either WS FTP Pro, or Cute FTP.  You can download these programs for free using the links below.

WS FTP Pro

WS_FTP Pro is a Windows-based file transfer client application that is used to transfer files between your local PC and a remote FTP server. With WS_FTP Pro, you can connect to any FTP server, browse through directories and files, and transfer files (upload or download) in either direction.

Cute FTP

This excellent FTP program has a lot more than just a pretty interface. In addition to previous niceties such as drag-n-drop capabilities, bookmarks, auto rename scheme and resume download, this version now offers a powerful macro that records your activities so you can play back specific transfers and automate your work.

Configuring Your FTP:

To upload your pages and files to your website using FTP, you will need the following information:

• FTP HOSTNAME = members.myoan.net
• Your User ID
• Your Password

The FTP HOSTNAME is the location where your FTP program will connect to.  The following setup information is for WS FTP Pro, but note that most FTP programs are similar. 
 

1. When you run WS FTP Pro, you will need to setup a new site/folder.  The program will ask you to enter a name for the site.  You may enter in any name you wish, such as My Web Site, etc.  This is just a way to identify the site.

2. Then you need to enter in the FTP Hostname, or IP address which is members.myoan.net

3. Next, enter in your ISPWest User ID.  (This is the same ID that you use for your email)

4. Then enter your password.  It is usually good to check the box that says “Save Password” 

Now you can connect to your web server.  Click “OK” to continue.

Transferring  Files:

When you connect to the web server, you will be connected directly to the root directory of your account. WS FTP Pro will display a split screen where files on the left-hand side are those located within your own computer. Files on the right-hand side are those, which are stored in your account.  You can transfer files directly to the root level and/or create subdirectories. To make your Home Page load automatically, you will need to name your main start page html file, "index.html" in lowercase and upload it to the root directory of your account.

To upload a file, simply highlight the file(s) on the left and click the right-arrow button ("-->") located in the center of the screen.  For more functions and help with WS FTP Pro please see their help file. As soon as you upload files to the web server, it is available for all to see.

The next step is to tell your friends about it and be sure you drop us a line and let us share in the memories that will last a lifetime!
