You should have gotten an email with FTP info. You need to download an FTP program such as www.smartftp.com or FileZilla and enter in the FTP info and upload files to your site through that.

If you need more instruction, get on AIM/ICQ/MSN/YIM (the details are in my profile).

Yeah I didn't get any email with FTP info - just an email confirming that I bought the account. And also about the FTP programs... can't I just use Internet Explorer to upload my pictures? Or do I need a program to actually start building my site?

When did you sign up? Sometimes it takes up to 24 hours for them to fully activate your account and send the e-mail.

As far as the FTP, IE (and Windows Explorer) works depending on the OS of the server you're hosted on. I would recommend using a FTP client regardless. I like WS FTP Lite. It's free and works great.

The LE version is really easy once you figure out how to connect to a FTP server.

Check WS_FTP™ LE Support webpage. Looks like you can download the User Guide and search their online Knowledge Base. I hope this helps. Good luck!

Don't use WS_FTP.

Get www.smartftp.com - it's the best.

Having used WS_FTP for years and started using SmartFTP this year, I will back that up. But WS_FTP is a lot less confusing.
