1. How do I upload my web page?
   We recommend using an ftp program - ws_ftp , CuteFTP or
   FileZilla (free). You can also use our 
   simple FILE MANAGER (control panel) to upload or edit a file 
   or set execution permissions.
   
   
2. How do I upload with ws_ftp?
   Start ws_ftp and create a new profile. For "Profile Name" choose
   something you will remember. For "Host Name" enter the name of
   your web site, e.g. yoursite.com. For "User ID" enter your login
   name, and for "Password" your password. Make sure "Anonymous"
   is NOT checked. 
   
   Set your default remote directory to "/" (remote dir).
   
   After the connection is established, on the left side you will see
   the files and directories on your local computer, and on the right
   side the files and directories on the web server. If there is a
   directory called 'web' or "htdocs" change there. Select the files on
   the left side and use the "->" button to transfer them. Use ASCII
   mode for .html files and perl scripts (.pl) and BINARY mode for the
   pictures (.gif, .jpg, etc.), movies and sounds.
   
   
3. How do I upload with CuteFTP?
   You need to "Add site" - for "Site Label" choose anything,
   "Host Address" is yoursite.com (or yoursite.cqhost.net),
   for "User ID" and "Password" use your login name and password.
   "Login type" should be "Normal". Then set your default remote directory to "/" (remote dir). After you add the site, click on "Connect". After the connection is established, on the left side
   you will see the files and directories on your local computer,
   and on the right side the files and directories on the web server.
   If there is a directory called "html" change there. You can drag files
   between the local and the remote window. Use ASCII mode for
   .html files and perl scripts (.cgi, .pl) and BINARY mode for the
   pictures (.gif, .jpg, etc.), movies and sounds - the buttons for
   changing the mode are on the right end of the button bar.
   
   
4. Is there an ftp program which comes with Windows95?
   Yes, there is a command-line ftp utility. Go to Start/Run and type:
   ftp yoursite.com
   and then hit enter (you may also use yoursite.cqhost.net if your
   domain is not yet transferred). Enter your username and password
   when prompted. After you login you can type "dir" to list the
   contents of the current directory, and "cd directory" to change to
   another directory. If there is an "web" or "htdocs" directory change
   there. (cd /web) You can use "ascii" and "binary" to switch between
   text uploads (.html, .pl, etc. files) and binaries (.gif, .jpg, etc). Here
   is a short example:
   ftp> cd /web (or /htdocs for Enterprise accounts)
   ftp> ascii
   ftp> mput *.html
   ftp> bin
   ftp> mput *.gif *.jpg

   
5. How do I upload with FrontPage 98 or 2000?
   Frontpage 98: Start FrontPage, and select "Open an Existing
   FrontPage Web". Press the "More Webs" button. In the
   "Select a Web server or disk location" enter the name of your
   web site: www.yoursite.com, and press the "List Webs" button.
   In the list box should appear "<Root Web>", double-click on it.
   
   Frontpage 2000: Start FrontPage, and select "Open file". Then
   enter your web site name "http://www.yoursite.com". In the
   list box should appear "<Web>", double-click on it.
   
   Note: Replace "http://www.yoursite.com " by "http://www.yoursite.com/~username" to access a "user specific"
   web site .
   
   
6. I found a perl script CGI on the internet, how do I
   make it work?
   Open the file in a text editor - the first line of a perl script should
   read: #!/usr/bin/perl
   Check if the script requires more files that need to be uploaded
   as well (e.g. if you see a line 'require "cgi-lib.pl";' you need to
   upload the file cgi-lib.pl as well). The file should have an extension
   .cgi - that's how the server will know that it's executable. You don't
   need a cgi-bin directory. You need to change the permissions on
   the script to make it executable for "everyone".  If the cgi script
   writes to a file, that file needs to have "write" permissions for
   everyone.
   
   Make sure you upload the file in ASCII mode.
   
   
7. How do I change file permissions with ws_ftp or CuteFTP?
   In ws_ftp click on the remote file to highlight it, and then right-click on it. Choose "chmod (UNIX)" from the menu - CGI scripts (.pl, .sh, etc.) need to have "Read" and "Execute" permissions for everyone.
   In CuteFTP click on the remote file to highlight it, and then right-click on it. Choose "Change file attributes" from the menu. For CGI scripts (.pl, .sh, etc.) use "Read All" and "Execute All".
   
   With Absolute FTP: Right Click on a .cgi file and set the proper
   permissions: rwx rx rx (owner rwx, group rx, other rx)
   
   
8. How do I remove the temporary CQhost page?
   Overwrite the default index.html in /web with your homepage
   (/web/index.html). Note: Replace "web" with "htdocs" if you
   use an Enterprise Account.
   
   
9. How do I setup a custom error404 error page?
   Just upload a notfound.html file in /web.
   
    
10. How do I protect a directory with .htaccess/.htpassword?
    In your control panel, click on FILES MANAGER then choose the
    directory to protect. The program will manage automatically your
    usernames and passwords. You don't need to upload a .htaccess
    directly.
     
    
11. How do I read my emails with Outlook 2000 or Express?
    
    Click on Tools/Accounts/Properties:
    
    Incoming mail server (POP3): yoursite.com
    Outgoing mail server (SMTP): yoursite.com
    Login (username): your login
    Password: your password.
    
    Screenshot 1: Click here
    Screenshot 2: Click here
    
    Note: We use a security feature called POP3-before-relay. You must
    check your emails before create/send new emails (to be logged on our server with your login/password). Some versions of Outlook has a bug and try to send emails BEFORE checking. In that case, click on 'Receive ALL' before sending new emails.
    
    In Tools/Options/Mail delivery UNCHECK 'send messages immediately when connected'.
    
    An external SMTP Server like CQhost cannot beat your dialup ISP because you are not directly linked to your account but the internet then your account. If you need optimal performance, set your outgoing
    email server to mail.your-ISP.com
    
    
12. How do I read my emails with Eudora or The Bat?
    
    The settings are the same than Outlook.
    
    The bat - Screenshot : Click here
    Eudora - Screenshot: Click here
    
    We highly suggest to try The bat from Ritlabs (http://ritlabs.com/the_bat). This email reader include advanced
    options and full PGP support (encryption).
