Ok, so I made an account at hwhosting.com and it gave me a free FTP server.

I downloaded SmartFTP Client and uploaded my mass collection of funny images.

The only problem is, the only way to connect to it is via " ftp://ftp.0lx.net/ " and I believe it asks you for a login name and password, which only I know.

How do I go about adding my FTP server to a website so EVERYONE can view it, and I can hotlink directly from it?

+rep to anyone who can help.

Ouch!

Whoops, okay the site I registered at was http://www.hwhost.0lx.net/

Free FTP and such. However, my first one may already be full >.> I try to upload something, it don't work. Multiples may help ;)

But still, how do I connect said FTP servers to a website and make them un-pw'd so anyone can view and I can hotlink from them? Or is there a way to change the FTP:// to HTTP://, kinda like this FTP site:

Edit: Checked my stats on hwhost and this is my usage stats...

I don't think I've used up all the space on my FTP, however, I'm not sure as I don't see any FTP specific stats.

That link you gave us to http://www.orokos.com/kippyhiller/ isn't an FTP site. Its a directory with no index file.

Ouch!

Just save the file you want to come up as index.*** eg index.html; index.php; index.htm. etc.

VistaPanel is rubbish, cPanel ftw.

Also, why use a free host, you could use an image hosting site, and keep track of all your links?

Ouch!

Nah. Also, I also use CPanel, it comes on hwhost.

Ok so I get the index.htm part......but how do I transfer my images from My Pictures to the index.htm?
