Once you've enabled web space, in Member Services, and completed a web page, transfer web files to your @Home web space directory using a file upload utility (FTP). There are several FTP clients available including Cute FTP, from Tucows .

CuteFTP is Shareware. After the evaluation period you must purchase the software to continue using it, uninstalling and reinstalling the program will not work.
