I have got my web completed as far as I can go for now, can not get it to the web site. Bought the FTP program and though it looks like things are flying, it is not getting there. :( Thanks for any help jim

You can upload either direct from the HTML Editor or through any FTP program.

Often virus protection will prevent it uploading properly so try pausing any virus protection you have.
I know you believe you understand what you think I said...but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not exactly what I meant.

Also make sure you upload everything your site needs (including images, style sheets and any other linked/related files) to the right folder on your host/server. The correct remote folder is often called public-html, www, www_docs, http_docs or something similar. Your 'first' page should also be called either default.htm(l) or index.htm(l) for it to show when someone surfs in there. Also, if you are using a linux/unix-based server, you must have your files named using the correct case. On such a server, file.JPG is different than file.jpg or File.jpg; a good rule of thumb is to name everything (including the file extension) using lower case.

If the files are there and named correctly, the site will display.

Good luck

Dave.
