    3. Hi Carol, my response is to paragraph #3. I first need to get the files to the Local Drive. That is where the problem has now boiled down to. Once they get there, I can transfer perfectly. Thanks so much, dear Carol. Hi Karen, I have used FP 2000 and WS_FTP before and I would seriously recommend that you do not publish anything to RW using FrontPage. You can create your files in FP but only use WS_FTP to upload the files to your account. FP is a total management program and it wants to control every step of the FTP process. This can be very confusing especially when you have moved files from one computer to another. It also is not 100% error free when you use FP to publish files. This may not solve your problem but here is what I would do: After logging into your ISP - start up WS_FTP. Then I would make sure that your settings are correct -- for your new computer. File directories may have changed. Click options and setup and verify that you are looking at the right paths. Connect. On the left window you will see your files on your local drive. The right window will have the files already located on the server. Click and scroll on the left window to find the file to upload and then >> send it over to freepages. NOTE: Do not try to create new directories on your local hard drive using WS_FTP. It works some times and other times you are denied access. You should create any new folders on your computer using Windows and opening up the My Computer Icon and then choosing new folder. You can create new directories on the server side -- but you must be inside one of the RW freepages directories. You cannot create anything at the default directory level. But once you are inside, ex. genealogy_html, you can create a directory by clicking on the MDIR button on the right side of the screen. If this doesn't work, then email me privately and I can help you further. I have used WS_FTP for many years and also have a 1000+ page website that I admin :o) -- Best wishes, Carol Hepburn chepburn@uswest.net Phoenix, AZ USA
