| 58271 | 2002-06-29 10:28:00 | "htdocs" and "logs" with 'yellow suitcases' beside them - are they folders rather than files (don't laugh!)? | R.M. (561) | ||
| 58272 | 2002-06-29 10:30:00 | Sorry, I advised you wrong just then. Once you've logged in with the FTP you should get a folder in the right hand pane with your account name in it. That's the one you double click on and you'll see another folder called htdocs. You can double click on that and put all your folders and files in there or you can create new folders to put your files in depending on how neat you are ;-) One other thought - you have actually signed up with the community webpages haven't you? |

| 58274 | 2002-06-29 10:41:00 | My DOS roots show. Directory is the old name for Folder. You basically have 3 folders \ = root (anything in this is yours but it sounds like you can't save files in the root directory itself) within the root you have 2 folders: logs (contains log files - files that record how often people look at the site etc) htdocs (the place where you put your files) To open a folder double click on the folder name To go back up the tree click on the green arrow at the top of the little window. To change to a different drive (eg the a: drive) in the left window scroll down till you see the drive then double click on it. |

| 58275 | 2002-06-29 10:43:00 | Once you've mastered the navigation by clicking on green arrows, folder names and drives we can progress to the next step | Heather P (163) | ||
| 58276 | 2002-06-29 10:49:00 | Next step In the remote window double click the folder htdocs. The box directly under the words "Remote system" will now show /htdocs. The window below this should just have a green arrow in it. In the local window click the green arrow until you see the folder you've save your web files in. Double click this folder (if it's a folder within a folder you'll just have to click till you find it). Open this folder by double clicking it. Scroll down to the file index.htm (or index.html whichever you called it). Click once on this file to highlight it. Click the arrow between the 2 windows to copy it to the remote server. Now open your browser, go to the site and see if it's there. If so, return to the FTP program and copy the rest of the files to the same place. Heather |
