    3. Dear Friends, You have all been so kind that I felt I best write to you before anything else. I did not drop off the earth. I have been quiet because we had a blizzard go through this No CA area, drop 17" snow where I am and knock out the power for 20½ hours. But, guess who was on the computer When this all hit so unexpectedly? Yep, I was doing two things at once...I had FrontPage (Freeweb) open and was starting a reply letter to Carol of this list. As for the storm hitting fast, the CHP had not expected it until about 5 hrs. later than it hit. Sadly, yet fortunate in the outcome, my husband's SUV slid very slowly off the road down a steep hill and stopped, rested against a 4" pine tree trunk. They plan to try to get it out tomorrow..two tow trucks and CHP on this narrow, windy mountain road. As though things were not bad enough, when I turned the computer on before dinner, I went right to FrontPage. Something told me I had a problem....Yep can not find that web folder anywhere in my computer. Time out...I had saved it to CD before I transferred to this computer. So, I still need to get it back into Front Page...not a big worry, & more important I need, somehow to get the files transferred to the Local System (left side) of WS-FTP. I truly appreciate all the help you are offering. I will get there, yet. Thank you, thank you, all!

    3. From: "Karen" <nchistoric@onemain.com> > important I need, somehow to get the files transferred to the Local System > (left side) of WS-FTP. Karen -- this may be the "root" of your problem. You do not "transfer" your files to the Local System. You just display them there. What you want to do is navigate to where the files are stored on your computer, just like you would in MyComputer or Windows Explorer. There is a little green arrow at the top of this box. Double click on this to move up your directory tree. Move up to your C:\ directory (if this is where your web files are stored). Now navigate back down the tree to their location by double clicking a folder to open and display it's contents. If your pages are stored in Front Page, the path in the top box might look something like this: C:\ProgramFiles\InternetExplorer\FrontPage\ If they are on your Desktop, the path would probably be: C:\Windows\Desktop\MyWeb\ This Local System box will display the contents of whatever folder you choose. Once your web files appear here, you can connect, and simply drag and drop them to the Remote Location. -- Pat Asher Ambrose Genealogy http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~pasher/ Help for Beginning Web Authors http://freepages.computers.rootsweb.com/~pasher/
