I can't create a new XOOM site? It seems that they changed it to NBCi. I tried creating an acount with NBCi, but I can't connect through FTP. I still can connect through my old XOOM site, but I need another one.

Does anyone know if I can still use the old XOOM or how to upload to an NBCi through FTP?

Thanks,
manure

"Old Xoom" is no longer. It was taken by NBCi, as you've found out.

It's simple. Just change ftp.xoom.com in your FTP client to ftp.nbci.com.

It worked for my XOOM account. And your new web address should be http://members.nbci.com/you/, but I'm sure you already knew that :)

The problem isn't that I can't view my old site. The problem is I tried making a new site at NBCi and I couldn't log on through the FTP. Also does NBCi give the same services as XOOM?

Yes NBCi is the same thing as XOOM just a different name. Make sure you signed up for a webspace account. I think NBCi has multiple services that aren't linked when you get one account for one of the services.
