CuteFTP for PWP @att.net

CuteFTP is a Windows-based Internet application that allows novice users to utilize the capabilities of FTP without having to know all the details of the protocol itself. It simplifies FTP by offering a user-friendly, graphical interface instead of cumbersome command-line utility.

Note: You will need to find your AT&T Worldnet Service account information.

This application can be use to publish your files to the AT&T Worldnet personal Web server and to backup your Web site to your hard drive.

1. If the Settings window isn't open, go to the Edit menu, select Settings, and then choose Connection. If necessary, close the Site Manager window to do this. Fill in the fields as shown below with the exception of the reconnect and resume time. You may leave that at the default setting. These settings will provide a good starting point. After you become familiar with CuteFTP, you might want to change these settings, but these will do for now. Click on the OK button to save them.
   
   
2. From the File menu, choose Site Manager to get the window shown below. Click on the New button, and then put the information concerning your AT&T Worldnet Web page in the correct fields. After you're finished, click on the Edit button to bring you to the next screen.
   • Label: A Name to identify the site
   • Host Address: upload.att.net or upload.worldnet.att.net
   • User Name: your e-mail ID (the part to the left of the @ in your e-mail address)
   • Password: your e-mail password.
   • Connection port: 21
   • Login type: Normal
   
   
3. Set the Default Local Directory to wherever on your computer you have saved the Web site files you wish to upload. Click on the OK button to close this window and then click on the Site Settings Exit button to save your setup.
   
   
4. From the File menu, choose Site Manager to show the Site Settings screen again. Highlight the connection you just created and then click on the Connect button.
   
   
5. If everything was set up correctly, after a few moments you should now see the window shown below, with your Web page directory showing in the right pane. You may also see a POP up Login Information window. You may close that by clicking on the OK button.
   
   
6. Highlight the file(s) to be uploaded, as shown in the graphic below, and click on the upload button (arrow pointing up, seventh button from the left). After the file transfer is complete, you should see the uploaded files in the right pane as shown in the graphic below. Just end the session by clicking on the disconnect icon (2 computers with a red X, 3rd button from the left), exit from CuteFTP, fire up your browser and admire your handiwork! To backup your Web site just reverse that procedure and transfer the files from the AT&T Worldnet PWP server to your hard drive.
