I am trying to upload my site via the ftp publisher in VSD, and when I run the test for the FTP publisher I can not get it to publish to the correct directory, using a different ftp transfer software, the directory I published to was htdocs/m37 (where I need the new files to go) , when I enter htdocs/m37 into the VSD publisher, it posts the test files to the root htdocs and not htdocs/m37... Any help???

There are several possible reasons for this:

1. have you checked "passive mode"?
2. all you should have to do is put "mywebsite.com" or "mywebsite.com/somefolder/

Have you taken both of these steps?

Try

htdocs/m37/
or

/htdocs/m37/
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
