Are they in the public_html folder? A lot of FTP clients dump you into the root directory of your account unless you set them up to do otherwise; in those cases you have to navigate into the public_html folder before you upload the files.

I contacted my host, and they gave me the correct folder. I'm pretty sure that the files are now in the right folder, but this is what the site looks like:

Looks like your images still aren't in the right place. Is there a "files" folder under the folder where index.html is located, and did you upload that? It should contain all the images.

Yes, I uploaded all the files. I had to use Filezilla, though. The FTP in VSD told me that I could not have a number as the first integer in the filename. Unfortunately, the website name is "90dBband.com"

Still, you don't need the domain name to be anywhere in the file names for the web pages themselves, so you can easily avoid the number problem.

Can you post a link to where the problem site is published?

It's on IX Web Hosting. The domain name is www.90dbband.com. Is that what you mean?

Spinny -

When you said: "Still, you don't need the domain name to be anywhere in the file names for the web pages themselves, so you can easily avoid the number problem."


How do I avoid the number problem? I would much prefer to upload using VSD.

You don't put the domain name in the WWW folder, that's where you tell it to put the files into public_html. (or whatever folder they told you to use)

It's like I thought: you don't have a "files" folder uploaded to the proper place (it needs to go into the same folder that holds your index.html) so the web page can't find any of the images.
