Here's what I found...
If you go here:
http://usercenter.cox.net/rsuite/sdcuser/asp/unsupbrowser/sitemap.html
scroll to the 3rd section where it says Personal WebSpace, and click ACTIVATE
PERSONAL WEBSPACE (I assume you don't automatically have access to the free
space until you activate it). Once its activated, or if you know its already
activated, on that same page under that same category you should see it says
PUBLISHING YOUR PERSONAL WEBSPACE. In there is the details on the server
address to use.
Regarding on how FTP works... basically, you create the website on your own
computer. Make a folder somewhere (WinXP has MY WEB SITES folder in the MY
DOCUMENTS folder, and you can create a folder in there). Then, make your
website and keep everything in that folder. That folder is equivalent to your
root folder in your webspace. After its all done, you use an FTP client, put in
the server details, and then it'll open up your FTP space just like its a
folder. You then copy your local site to the remote server. You're just
transferring all the files there.
I can get a lot more detailed if you need so.
