Program guide

Accounts on FTP servers can be created in two ways. First, any computer with a permanent IP number can act as a FTP host. Set up you're own FTP server using any of the many free hosting programs on the Internet. Secondly, FTP accounts are usually included in ISP (Internet Service Provider) contracts. Generally if you have the possibility to create a homepage you also have access to a FTP account (it's the place you store your html files). Use one of these options. Contact info will be held in .sab files (plain text files) stored on the FTP home directory.
