Yes you need to be on a Freeola connection to use the 'free' standard hosting package - works well for me!
You can use Freeola dialup to FTP your data if you can't switch ISPs. This would be economical to put a website in place.
Well done to Hmmm for his reply. But this situation does happen frequently, so ...
1. Isn't it time that a Staffie responded as well ... and ...
2. Why doesn't Freeola actually make this 'situation' clearer to prevent this misunderstanding happening in the future?
Just a suggestion ...

[s]Hmmm...[/s] If that's so, then is the only totally free path available via the automatic website builder?
Either way, thanks for your help.
[s]Hmmm...[/s] For FTP I'm using FileZilla. The host, username and password are the right ones that are shown in my Options & FTP Settings.
The connection passes the username part with green lights but says "530 Login authentication failed" when at the password.
I've done this before on other websites, so I somewhat know what I'm doing :-)
It's always worth saying if a query relates to Standard Hosting, VIP or InstantPro when posting :¬)
HTTP 530 is often seen as an FTP login error - so I'm wondering if you are trying Standard Hosting but perhaps aren't connected via a Freeola internet connection?
Perhaps you could provide a few more details?
