the absolute easist way is to open internet explorer and in address bar type ftp://account login in name:account password@the place files get uploaded to so mine for example is

ftp://mr.cookie:yeahright@upload.ntlworld.com

yours is like this

ftp://usernameassword@ftp.btinternet.com

then drag and drop file you want copied to it, your website address will either be http://www.btinternet.com/~username or
http://www.username.btinternet.co.uk or http://username.users.btopenworld.com then /name of file uploaded including tag i.e .jpg .mpg etc etc

LOL !!

ARGH !!

how do I edit my site that I didnt know I had ??
I want to start again.
I even see there is a forum set up on frontpage....would like to tackle that but I think that may be pushing it

I hate it when people say " Ah, frontpage. Really easy / great to use/ ect

makes me feel all the more stupid

lol @ usernameassword

front page is poo - puts loads of code that you don't need in [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Either do it all in notepad or download some freeware like 1st page 2000 - beware, this comes with a free trojan but works fine once your anti-virus has stripped the offending file out
