We're going to need a lot more info than that. First off, I would try using a different FTP program. SmartFTP is a good one

did u set the permissions of the files and the folders?

Upload ur html files in the server's root folder, create an images folder for the image files, and then set the permissions with right click on them.

Most likely you are not getting them into the "Root folder". Depending on your webhost. Some use the /www folder, some use /htpdocs, some use /html folders etc.
I would contact the host or go to their FAQ page and see what folder.
Since they are uploading I'd say your are using the correct login info.

Is the homepage saved as either index.html or index.htm? Is there a place holder titled index.htm or index.html that the web host may have put there that's overriding your own file?

Hope that helps?

/public_html is also a popular http directory.

yeah it is, but some even do /www.yourdomain.com or /yourdomain.com as the directory as well. Filezilla is a good free FTP client too btw.

thanks to all that helped me get my page online,now i have to try link the photos to my page i have them all in the same folder(public-htm),the program i used(cool page)i could not find how to do this,is there another way?

Maybe you could show us a link...or be more descriptive of what you are trying to accomplish. Are you just trying to make a picture display on an html page, and link the picture somewhere...or what?

paul70 · #12 (**permalink**) Dec 21st, 2006, 06:37

ifyou look at www.paulleombruni.com i have the text there but no pics,all files are in the same folder.

JacobHaug · #13 (**permalink**) Dec 21st, 2006, 06:44

Ok the problem is the location. In the html you are telling it that the pictures are in this dictionary..."index_files/

Here is a little bit of the code, so that you know what to change.

Code: Select all

src="index_files/a_FENCE.jpg"

Ok, all you have to do is remove the index_files/ every where there is supposed to be a picture. After you have done this the picture will work. You can do this by editing the page within notepad...and searching for the index_files/ and deleting it every where you find it. Please let me know if that does not work, or if you are having problems.

thanks,that worked,one more problem,not a big deal,but i have a background picture which isn't there,is it the same thing as the pics?

JacobHaug · #15 (**permalink**) Dec 21st, 2006, 07:18

The problem is the same. Here is the code that needs to be changed.

Code: Select all

<BODY text=#ffffff vLink=#ffff80 link=#ffffff bgColor=#008080 leftMargin=0 background=index_files/Bricks_Red.jpg topMargin=0 scroll=auto>

Again, take out the "index_files/" part and it will work. Also, the program you are using to build your html in sucks!! Nothing personal, but I would change it allot to make it more professional. I understand you are a beginner and would be willing to help get you started in the right direction. You can feel free to contact me over MSN anytime. My MSN screen name is in my profile.

Good Luck!!
