Many thanks to Paul for his encouraging note, and to Anne for her advice. I've been on the verge of giving up since it has been very frustrating for me to get Filezilla to work. Recently, Anne posted two URLs that should enable anyone to open a site. For me, they worked! https://www.rootsweb.com/~sitename or https://sites.rootsweb.com/~sitename 1. Thank you Anne Mitchell! (Paul Sheats) Both of those links, with my sitename boyerlinks added, produced my pages, and I could read them, test all of the links, forward the site to others -- almost exactly what I wanted. BUT I cannot use that link to edit my pages, to add or subtract or change anything. For that I need to log on to Filezilla and then go to Kompozer to make the changes. For the past week, I have been unable to log on to Filezilla. But this morning, encouraged by Paul's note, and the Geary Computer Tips, I was able to produce the Filezilla site with side-by-side panes. The right pane contains genealogy_html. I think that will take me to the files I want to edit. This is where I need help. Do I right-click on genealogy, and then open the files I want to change? Or do I go first to Kompozer, where I think I should find the same files, and then open and edit them? I am a little concerned by the advice that I should not double-click files such as those unless I know exactly what will result, and I don't. Or, perhaps a better answer?, should I first drag the genealogy file from the right side to the left (where it does not now appear), and use Kompozer to edit it on the left side? I think you can see that Paul is right, that I need someone who is tech-savvy who can help answer those questions. Anyone who is kibitzing should feel to join in. Thank you all.

Neil... do you have anyone tech savvy that can help you with FileZilla (or whatever FTP tool you are using)? I've been following the conversation, and it seems like you have had some successes, but you need to find where your pages are stored on your hard drive (left pane in FileZilla). Thanks again Anne!

NO do not click on the files in the right pane to edit them. You still need to navigate within the left pane to locate your files ON YOUR COMPUTER. Start Filezilla Go to Files > Site Manager Select the Entry for YOUR SITE Click Advanced Tab Default Remote Directory should have /boyerlinks/genealogy_html What do you have for Default Local Directory? This appears to be where your problem lies. Click the Browse button and Navigate to where YOUR site is located on YOUR computer. Do you know where your site is located on YOUR computer. To find out where your site is on your computer if you are not sure, the top bar in Kompozer shows you the location but it is fairly short. If you select File > Save As The top bar of the dialog box should show the path to were your files are. That is where you need to navigate to in Filezilla in the Default local directory. I don't use Kompozer so not sure if it shows the path somewhere else or not.
