| first try removing all spaces and special characters from the file name and limit its length to 8 charcters plus extention. if that doesnt work they might not allow mp3 or have a file size limitation on free accounts. |

| I'd imagine they probably don't allow .mp3 extensions. There also might be issues with spaces in the filename. Try renaming it to *.jpg, that's what a lot of people have been doing lately. |

or try using passive mode. |

There's either no index.* page uploaded, or, if there is one, it's blank.
Which directory did you upload the .mp3 file to? |
|
|
| stevebutabi |
i uploaded it to a folder i created called 'music'
what is an index page?
sorry i have no idea about this kind of stuff... i just want to make a web site to hold my mixes, i don't care what it looks like, it can be blank for all i care

An index.* (.html/.shtml/.php/.asp etc.) is just something that a browser will look for first, but you don't need to know about that if you're just uploading .mp3 files.
If the file has been uploaded correctly, you should be able to view it via http://djgreggimble.freehostingsite...r-file-name.mp3.
Let me know how it goes. |
