6. FTP Information

Domain Name: example1.port5.com 
FTP Server: ftp.portland.co.uk 
User ID: example 
Password: ******  
Forwarding email address: ben@benshaffer.co.uk

Domain Name
This is the website address that you can type into the browser in order to access your site. If you type it in without anything being uploaded to your site, then you will get an error. If you were to put your  file there called helloworld.html , then you would type into the browser http://example1.port5.com/helloworld.html in order to look at that page

FTP Server
This is the name or the address to which you are uploading your pages. It is equivalent to describing which drive you are saving information to if you were to be saving onto your computer

User ID
This is your own personal user id that no-one else who has a site with Portland will have. You may want to think of it as your member name. Note that your User ID and the first part of your domain name perhaps may not be exactly the same

Password
This is your personal password which you will need in order to gain access to your website using FTP. With Portland there is no option as yet to change it

Forwarding email address
This is the address where all email that is sent to your domain held by Portland will be sent to. For example you may send an email to anything@example1.port5.com and it would then be automatically forwarded to ben@benshaffer.co.uk  

This is all of the information (and more) that you will need in order to upload files to your Portland Communications Web-space
