Once logged in you upload your website HTML files to the /htdocs folder. They should then be viewable in your favourite browser at www.<your username>.plus.com/index.htm or www.yourdomain.co.uk assuming DNS points it to homepages.

Quote from: siouxsie It's FileZilla that I'm using. Looks to me I'm not getting my password right, is the login the same as I use to log in on the Plusnet website?
No, the FTP server is showing that it can't establish a secure connection using TLS or SSL. It's not getting as far as logging on with your username or password.
Solution - Set Encryption to 'Use plain FTP'

I got the domain very recently, and besides my home broadband connection it's all I've paid for, does it maybe take some time before I can get on or is there more I need to buy?

Could this be the reason?

If you get an error 530 this means that your login data isn't accepted by the server. Double check your login details and/or as pwatson said check you have web space.

You could have gone to a third party and bought a combined package.
I don't know why Plusnet still sell domains if they no longer offer web space.
