Note: There have been several reports from members who are having problems using SmartFTP to transfer files to the AT&T Worldnet service using Windows 98SE and Windows ME. If you have difficulties and would like to report problems or pursue a solution, please contact SmartFTP support at http://www.smartftp.com.

This page provides instructions for using Smart FTP to publish your Web pages from your hard drive to the AT&T Worldnet Personal Web Page servers using a secure connection. A secure connection is needed to access the PWP servers from another ISP, but should also work with an AT&T Worldnet connection. Read the information in our PWP FAQ for additional information.
