Try creating a new folder in your root directory -- publish all your pages , including the home/index page in this new folder. Let us know what happens.

My remote folder field reads: /htdocs/mywebsitefolder

Hope this helps,

Okay, Scott

I went in and eliminated index.html from godaddy. Under html there was a directory index.html, and a directory called index. I eliminated all of it. The site was dead. there was nothing there to look at.

Then I went into ftp settings and confirmed what I had
ftp.thesportsprophet.com
myusername
mypassword
/ in the remote folder
port 21
passive

Then I re-synced the site and published. My front page appeared, but no other pages were visible at the url, and my url became www.thesportsprophet.com/index.html/index.html

I do not know why coffee cup keeps adding this.
I once again can go into godaddy and manually move the other pages into the directory, when I figure out where it published this time.

no change on that

Looks good to me.;)

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

This is a site I built for my work.(RSD)

It looks fine, but none of the other pages are there. If you click on any of the top buttons, it just goes to the homepage because none of the other pages published. I keep having to manually move the pages in godaddy, and the last time a couple of them did not even look the same.
that is the problem. I do not have a problem publishing the homepage.

godaddy says that when coffee cup adds the index.html to the pages, it won't publish to the right place.

I don't know why it keeps adding index.html to the url. that brings me back to the original post on this thread.

All the buttons work fine except the Home button for me. Try clearing your cache.:)

I hope you are right. If you are, then Scott's solution worked!

That would be great!

The more I look at your site, I don't think there is any issue. You can go to any page on your site and simply add a / at the end and get a folder. Example http://thesportsprophet.com/3about.html/

I looked at the source of your index.HTML and the time/ date stamp was just a few minutes ago.
