Hi Miles,
My other winner from my hosting contest, Charles Decker aka Deeplist just found my note, so I sent him the link to this thread, so we might hear from him soon. Then you can see if either of these guys can help you out! : )

Thanks. I received info an account was set up at SeraphimLabs. It's been some time since I did anything on the web. But it seems strange I can't get any ftp or admin access. If I http using the ip address I get a page saying "It's Alive" but if I use the domain name I get access denied. Support tells me to put an index.html page on and it will work. But I have no means to do so. https to the admin account hangs. ftp times out. Really bizarre. Unless the WiFi I'm using is blocking it. Which seems unlikely as I would think they would also block if I put the IP address in the browser.
Seems I can't get past go, no $200. :)

Free or not after 4 replies I can't get a simple 4 lines of information
ftp site
userid
pw
port#
I think I'm done with the guessing game.

Yikes!
I'm no shill, just hoping it's not as hard as all this!
Latching onto a couple of your comments:
1. "The Admin Account hangs..."
The address to the admin page is at:
https://airmid.seraphimlabs.net:2083/
I do know he has some glitch that keeps saying "this site is untrusted" but it's fine.
2. Is your location going through a proxy? I do seem to notice it drops if you try to do that.
3. If you can get through, for me at least everything gets loaded through a cPanel interface, so maybe you can use that instead of ftp.
4. "Web creation tool" vs "have no means to produce an index.html page" - I'm not sure what kind of setup you have - are you totally forbidden to create files? (If so, how are you ftp uploading anything?) I just make my pages out of text and then upload them with the cpanel interface.
I want to help not just because helping is nice, but it is kinda like late feedback after I recommended him to you and it makes me sad!
There's still that one other option I know of but he hasn't posted here yet. Maybe he can help.
Calling Seraphim! : )

@TaoPhoenix I have no reason to think you would engage in some time wasting activity. So I have to assume the distraction has another source. The original admin web address I was given blocks/hangs as does the one you posted(for me I mean.) Maybe https is broken on this WiFi network or there's some other reason.
The one at the public library is nearly useless for development as even downloads from sourceforge.net are blocked.
The trouble with email is it's pretty easy to start an argument between the parties on the ends if you are in the middle with total access. So I have to give the sender the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it's Senior Prank Week or something. I don't know. I guess I'll put it in "try again later" mode. :)
Sorry I let my frustration spill onto the thread. :) It kind of reminds me of going through the self serve checkout at Walmart. Every bar code scans except for the last one. Everyone behind you in line looks at you like you are so stupid you can't pass the bar code by the scanner. I don't use those anymore. It's "faster" to wait in line for the clerk to check me out. :)
Edit: In any case it's not vital to tinker with the stuff "live." I can use AnalogX mini web server to start. No biggie. :) At this point I'm probably better off to search for a wage slave position. Maybe I can get a part time help desk or something similar.
I appreciate your efforts and would never consider you a shill. (Unless maybe we work the old fake "improv" bit together some time.) :)
