Can you imagine? I am still trying to make this go. In my left pane on Filezilla, I have genealogy_html as one of many entries in the Local Site. If I right click that line on the Local Site and upload, I get the same list of folders on the right side as on the left. So far, so good, right? As I understand it, I should now go to one of my folders on the left side, edit it with Kompozer or some other editor and save it. Then, I think, I should right-click and upload it from the left side. Then, in Charles's guidance, as I read it, I think, I should go to my browser and open my web site and check it for accuracy. Here is where I am stalled. I don't have a URL for my site. How do I open it? Did I skip something? Did I skip many things? The remote site is boyerlinks. Thanks again. Neil

Neil, this is your remote site http://sites.rootsweb.com/~boyerlinks/ Does it look like what you expect it to?? If you have set up your site as you have been directed here http://sites.rootsweb.com/~gearyfamily/publishing-your-sites.html What you should see in the left pane is your site on your computer. I cannot tell you what it should look like as I have no idea how it is set up. What you should see in the right pane is the actual list of files and folders that are currently on the server. Top right pane for remote site should show /boyerlinks/genealogy_html Under that would be the list of files and folders that make up your site. If you right click on the file name on the left hand pane and select upload, it will be uploaded to the server and replace the file that is already there if it has the same name. If it is a new page, then you should see it listed.

You are one of the fortunate with your site back I still await mine So I could see http://sites.rootsweb.com/~boyerlinks/ You use Filezilla per the instructions posted on Rootsweb to log in but you say you don't know the URL? But if you have PC on left and remote site on right you have it. On the left side of Filezilla should be your hard drive files on your PC ready to ftp to rootsweb. Buttons on menu in Filezilla can highlight files not already uploaded or which have been updated on your PC. If you want to change anything before you run Filezilla use your local editor to fix the code. Filezilla is not for fixing code it is for transferring files I gather you use Kompozer. I use Sharepoint Design. You could use Notepad+ and various other editors Thank You from Ron Lankshear Sydney NSW Awaiting Recovery http://sites.rootsweb.com/~lankshear On 20/08/2018 6:31 am, Neil Boyer wrote: > Can you imagine?

The remote site is boyerlinks. Thanks again. Neil Neil, you obviously are making progress, but I need to emphasize that Kompozer and Filezilla are two entirely different programs that do entirely different things. Kompozer is for editing the copies of your web pages that reside on your computer. It does NOT upload your edited files to the server so your changes show at your URL <sites.rootsweb.com/~boyerlinks/> Filezilla is for uploading your updated files to the server, as you have edited them in Kompozer, so your updates show at your URL <sites.rootsweb.com/~boyerlinks/> You access your URL using a browser (a third program). We have no way of knowing what browser you use, but it will be the program YOU use to browse/surf sites across the web, for example Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, etc. Now, once you connect to your web site using your browser <sites.rootsweb.com/~boyerlinks/> will display the home page for your site as long as it is named index.htm or index.html. If you want to check a different page such as the one for the ancestors and descendants of Lewis E.Boyer, then you will have to visit that complete URL <http://sites.rootsweb.com/~boyerlinks/boyer_easton/boyer_chronology.html> And that gets back to uploading changed/updated pages using Filezilla. If you upload boyer_chronology.html to your parker_long subdirectory, <http://sites.rootsweb.com/~boyerlinks/boyer_easton/boyer_chronology.html> won't display the updated file because you haven't uploaded it to the same location on the server so the updated file overwrites the existing file. And If you upload it to the parker_long subdirectory, neither you nor the visitors to your site will be able to find it. Pat A.
