I am trying to upload a website I built myself using Free FTP (well a test page anyway), however, even though the index.htm file shows up in the dashboard, the site itself still says "There's nothing on here yet".
I have the file in the 'site' subdirectory. Do I need to move it somewhere else or call it home.htm????

On your dashboard, click on settings. Under service settings there is a drop down menu. Change that to site, click save and that should be it. :) Hope that helps

You need to rename the file from index.htm to index.html and then it will work.

Thanks Scott! I see what I was doing wrong...I had www. before website name. Thanks for the S-Drive! Great opportunity for me to learn how to upload web sites. Glad it was just me making it so complicated. Very easy to use FTP. Love the disscussion forum. A lot of great resources/advice for me to use as I am learning and practicing my HTML coding. Still have a lot to learn!

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
