Monday, November 10th, 2008

FTP Account Added!

ftp.1hs.org
username: xyz@1hs.org
password: XYZ (Case sensitive)
Port:21
(Please note, these are not the real usernames/passwords…)
IF you use FTP… please only place files into your own folder, no big files, and don’t change anyone else’s stuff.  I recommend using Filezilla… but there are a million and one FTP clients out there.

If 1hs.org… is http://205.234.132.6/~hsorg/ …
Then what’s the difference between…
http://205.234.132.6/~hsorg/twe  and http://austin.servershost.net/~hsorg/twe
