4. Why won't the File Manager work for me?
The File Manager now includes javascript. This means that people who are using much older browsers or computers may have trouble with the File Manager. WebTV users will also have difficulty. If you can, we recommend that you upgrade your browser javascript-capable version of Netscape or Internet Explorer.

5. Why can't I access the File Manager from my bookmarks?
You will not be allowed into the File Manager from a bookmark, as it requires you to your USERNAME and PASSWORD. Even if it does ask you for this, you may be lead to a screen saying that it 'cannot access the registry entry'.

6. How do I use sub-directories?
To use your new subdirectory functions, click on the 'make new directory' button in the File Manager. The Builder should reload, and the subdirectory will appear as a link. Click on the link and it will take you to another File Manager page, which is your subdirectory. You can then edit, add, view as normal.

7. Why is there a 5mb file size limit?
This is in place to prevent people from uploading warez to the FC server.

8. How do I use FTP to transfer my files?
First of all you need an FTP program such as Cute_FTP or Fetch. If you do not have one you can get them for free from Shareware.com.
If you already have the program you must use the following details:
HOSTNAME - ftp.fortunecity.co.uk
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.co.uk
ie. If your details are as follows:
USERNAME - cyberdude
PASSWORD - abc123
You would put the following URL:
ftp://cyberdude:abc123@ftp.fortunecity.co.uk
To upload files simply drag them into the Netscape window and they will upload automatically.
