I have just edited those documents with Kompozer, but they don't appear. I don't even see Kompozer in that list. My guess is that they are hidden behind some other content and perhaps I need to double-click on something to open them. I would appreciate any help to calm my floundering around. > Many thanks. Neil > > Hi Neil, If you are seeing "Program Files" in the left pane, I think you are at the wrong directory on your local drive. You need to navigate to wherever on your local hard drive your site files are stored. On my hard drive, they are in a highest level directory that I named something like "CarothersFamilyMemories". Subdirectories such as Images, etc. are inside that directory. My index.html and other html and css files are at the highest level. Under the Filezilla "View" tab, do you have a check mark by "Local directory tree" and "Remote directory tree". If not, I would strongly suggest that you enable both of these items. With these enabled, you should see a "File-Explorer-like" structure above your file names on both sides. Using this, you can navigate to any directory on your local drive and on the host. If you pick the directory where you have saved, just as an example, your index.html file, then you should be able to right click on it and upload it to the host. Before you do that, you need to be sure that you have navigated to the corresponding place on the host side as well. I might just reiterate what has been stated here many times too. It will save you a lot of hair pulling (which I can ill afford :-)) if your directory structures for both the local and remote sides are identical. If they are not, you should probably pause right now and make that so using File Explorer on the local side to create/move directories and/or files until the two sides are identical. Given that your site existed before, I think it is much easier to make your local copy match the remote copy than to do it the other way around. I think you mentioned Kompozer. I know nothing about that, but I assume from the name it is some sort of an editor. It happens that I use an editor called Crimson. My normal work flow is: edit using Crimson, save the file, upload with Filezilla, and finally check the results using a browser (Chrome in my case). I suspect your work flow should be pretty similar.

On the PC side, you really should have all your websites under "My Webs" under "My Documents". So.... My Documents --->My Webs ---------->family ---------->genealogy ----------->religions ----------->pawashin (my PAGenWeb site) These names will match the dir system online. "My Webs" on the PC side equals 'public' on the online/live side. Judy

Judy, I agree in part with you. > you really should have all your websites under "My Webs" under "My Documents". Thats how you do it. It works well for you. I keep all my websites on a second hard drive. I probably have something like thirty website. On MY second hard drive I have "freepages" as a directory then the Freepages directory structure below that. That works best for me. Everyone should develop a system that works for them and is easiest for them.

Same here Billie. My hard drive is split into two partitions - programs and data. My websites are all under www with each site under it in a directory with the same site name as the directory it resides in on the various servers. DO what works for you. If you are a novice with both windows and web design, then yes, Judy's setup works well.
