FTP  for customers account

Request an annonymous FTP site for a customer by writing a ticket to engineering. It is imperitive that they understand that their sites are accessible for others to download BUT can not be uploaded to without giving out their user name and pass with us, thereby breaching security !ALERT! !ALERT! This is the info jeff gave me for their logging into this site:

Annonymous FTP site
To upload use the following information.

  1. You will use an ftp client to log into ftp.eznet.net
  2. path will be /ftp/ftp/user/
  3. name is your user name
  4. password is your password
  5. The site will be ftp://ftp.eznet.net/pub/users/username

Frequent disconnects

There are many reasons why you would experience frequent disconnects.
Here is what initially I would like you to check.
1. If you are using Outlook Express for mail, verifiy that the check
box on the Send and Recieve dialogue window is not checked to
disconnect after checking mail.
2. Turn your computer and modem completely off for one minute and see
if it improves.
3. Make sure your modem/computer is connected directly to the wall,
not passing through and devices or line splitters.
4. Try unplugging the other dvices that are linked into that phone
line in other places inthe house to see if there is a difference.
Periodically other devices like cordless phones and answering
machines cause phone line noise even when not in use.
5. Look for updated modem drivers for your modem. You may call
support if you would like assistance in determining the version of
modem driver you have.

Home site customer intructions

We have created your homepage directory. You will need to use an FTP  client such as WS-FTP or CuteFTP to upload the page itself. These programs can be downloaded off of the Internet, a good place to start is ftp://ftp.eznet.net/pub/95-98/ftp .
Connect the FTP client to the host home.eznet.net and log in with your username and the password. The sites URL (address) will be:http://home.eznet.net/~username .

Long distance disclaimer

Your local access number is __________; however, please ensure this is not a long distance call for you by contacting your phone company. Eznet can not be held responsible for any long distance charges incurred from dialing a long distance access number.

Connections of 28,8 or lower with a 56k modem indicates other problems.
Phone lines may not be able to support it. The phone lines could be multiplexed. If this is so you can ask phone company to fix it. Phones they can not make more than one analogue to digital conversion to support 56k, There may be static on the line, even if you can not hear it. Other devices such as cordless phones and answering machines can be interfering.

Space on servers
You get a total of 15 mb on our servers. It includes your home page, your mail and ftp. The size of the email box is limited to 15Mb or whatever space is unused after uploading your website.

To determine your home page usage you should get a good email client that will allow you to display the memory attributes used by each file. Programs such as cute and ws_ftp will do this.

You can also get info on your home account using telnet. Log on to your shell account and type "du". Then hit enter. It will give you a list of your different services and how much space you are using in each. The number at the bottom is the total. This is in kilobytes, there are 1024 to a megabyte.

Telnet to shell

The easiest way to access mail from another connection is to telnet to shell. You would:

  1. click start/run
  2. type in telnet eznet.net
  3. Log in with your user id and Pass
  4. type pine

Pine is a shell mail program. It will appear like a dos driven mail client. you can send, recieve and delete from your box. Files you want to save till you get your computer online can be left here for a later date. If you have trouble using your shell please give us a call at 262-2065.

Timeouts:

Unlimited does not mean continuous access.

Idle time out: Your internet connection is not in use for 15 consecutive minutes. You may be reading mail or writing letters, or reading cached pages when this happens, but you are not using your connection.
