4. Why doesn't the FileManager work for me?

The FileManager includes javascript. This means that people who are using much older browsers or computers may have trouble with the FileManager. WebTV users will also have difficulty. If you can, we recommend that you upgrade your browser to a javascript-capable version of Netscape or Internet Explorer.

5. How do I create or open subdirectories?

You can create new subdirectories and upload to them using an FTP program, or you can use FileManager. To create a new subdirectory with FileManager, log into FileManager and click the "Create Directory" button. To open a subdirectory, select the subdirectory you wish to open and click the "Open" button next to the subdirectory's name. You can then edit, add, and view files in the subdirectory.

6. Why is there a 1mb file size limit?

This is in place to prevent people from uploading warez to the FC server.

7. How do I use FTP to transfer my files?

First of all you need an FTP program such as Cute_FTP. If you do not have one you can get one for free from Shareware.com.

If you already have an FTP program, you must enter the information below:
HOSTNAME — ftp.fortunecity.com
USERNAME/ID — your FortuneCity USERNAME
PASSWORD — your FortuneCity PASSWORD
You will be dropped directly into your folder, where you can upload, download, delete and rename your files. You can also create subdirectories.

If you do not have an FTP application, you can FTP using Netscape 2.0 or above. To do this enter the following URL in the location bar:

ftp://username:password@ftp.fortunecity.com

For example, if your account information is:
USERNAME — cyberdude
PASSWORD — abc123

Then you would type the following URL into the location bar:
ftp://cyberdude:abc123@ftp.fortunecity.com

To upload files, simply drag them into the Netscape window and they will upload automatically.
