The only dumb question anyone can ever have is the question they should have asked but didn't IMHO! :-) In the "Local directory tree" above your local files, if you scroll to the top you should be able to see "This PC". Under that you should see C:, D:, etc. which are your drives. Click on that drive and what you see in the pane below are the highest level contents of that drive. Again, I would urge backups to flash drives and caution before uploading or downloading anything. I would hate to see you damage your beautiful site! You really probably should create an empty directory on one of your drives and download your entire remote site to it. Then copy that to a flash drive as well. If you have a backup like that of your remote site and a backup of every copy of your local site then you can always get back to where your are now. I may have slightly overstated the case for the index.html file. However, if I recall correctly, there was a rule back in 2003 anyway when I first started my site that said essentially, "In order to not have to include the root file of your site in the path, you must name it index.html". Therefore to be as kind as I could be to anyone who wanted to access my site, I made my root file index.html. We all want to be kind to our users, right? :-) My 15 year old memory could be tarnished a bit, but I believe that is still true, at least to some degree. I have found that I can successfully access your site with any of four following slightly different URLs. sites.rootsweb.com/~boyerlinks sites.rootsweb.com/~boyerlinks/index.html https://sites.rootsweb.com/~boyerlinks https://sites.rootsweb.com/~boyerlinks/index.html This strongly suggests to me that the "root level" of your site is indeed a file named index.html. BTW, the first two display "Not secure" ahead of the URL in the browser address line, but for now anyway who really cares!
