Change Destination folder in a...

I set up a web project in CC to update a friend's website. In the Server Configuration dialogue, I am looking for an option that will allow me to change where my project sees the ROOT folder on his server. Presently I am uploading files two folder levels above where they should be, so the changes I've made are not being published.
When I realized I was putting the files in the wrong folder, I went back to check my project to see where I could make the necessary change to my files' destination. Can't find it.
Any ideas out there?
Thanks, Peter

If your using the html editor. Check out your server settings by clicking on the little folder just to the left of the wrench above you local Disk tab. Then click on website project settings.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Hiya Peter,

In those settings that Eric is guiding you to, make sure that the remote folder represents the folder you want to be considered the root folder for that project. If it's going 2 folders up then that just means that you put the server info in there but forgot to add on the directory that you want to consider as the root. Just add that directory in there (or subdirectories however deep you need it to be) and you should be fine. :)

Thank you Eric, I did that to set up the project and have been back looking at the settings. There is one Element in the Advanced section of that dialogue box, Manage Folder Bookmarks, which looked interesting, but does not seem to be the place to Set The Root Directory for ftp uploads.

I've looked over the controls for the project and do not see an element that will let me specify which folder on the server corresponds to my root folder on my computer and in my CC project.

The error message(s) :Warning: include(pages/Test_Page.html) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home1/steeplep/public_html/page.php on line 76

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'pages/Test_Page.html' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home1/steeplep/public_html/page.php on line 76

Does this make it any clearer?
I am checking on the possibility that the php structure of the site has something to do with my problem, but since we're talking simple file locations, it doesn't make a lot of sense to look in that direction.
