This is a second posting. I am getting desperate. What am I doing wrong??? I have had only one response, from dear Russell who is trying to help me. Anyone out there want to join our twosome and help get some gravestones on my website??? The second portion of this recap is the problem. Karen Here is the minor information: Bought a new computer & transferred everything over. Using Front Page 2000 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Web Site #1 is newest and was not on older computer. Using Front Page WS-FTP95 LE Local System: C:\Program Files\WS-FTP Remote System: public_html Profile Name: My Homepage Host Name: users.rootsweb.com Host Type: Automatic detect User ID: cancgs Password:xxxxxxxx In FrontPage I am publishing to: file:///C:/Program Files/WS-FTP Now, this whole set up is working fine! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here is the problem I have had this site up for a year, but recently transferred it to new computer. Also using Front Page 2000 WS_FTP95 LE FTP Host Name: users.freepages.rootsweb.com User ID: historic Password: xxxxxxxx In the remote directory I click on: genealogy_html Now in FrontPage 2000 I am publishing to: file///C:/Program Files/WS_FTP/historic After I click on genealogy_html, in the remote system of WS_FTP95 LE, I find that it has all gone into the remote system on the right hand side and not to the Local System on the left. In fact. I tried to make a new directory, but to no avail. The entire list from the other web site is in view all the time on the left. I keep going over all sorts of instruction, etc. and now have my shoe in hand ready to throw at the monitor. I have working on this situation for weeks. I give up. Is there some very kind soul who can help me with this in the simplest of terms? I have worked to hard on this site and have many more updates for it. 3200 pictures and over 1600 pages is not exactly what I want to throw away.

Karen: Like Elsi and Jim, I'm not sure I understand the problem -- but assuming you want to upload files from your computer to your RootsWeb site, 1) open WS-FTP and connect to your RootsWeb site. Double click on the public_html directory in the right hand window to open it. This should display all your previously uploaded directories and files. The left hand window is the directory structure for the files on your computer. Navigate to the location of the files you want to upload. When those files are listed in the left hand window, highlight the ones you are going to upload. The same way you highlight files in My Computer or Explorer. To highlight several files, hold down the Control key while clicking, or the Shift key to highlight a sequence of files. Now, click the right pointing arrow in the center divider. This will begin the upload. You can also drag and drop the files from the left hand to the right hand window. This doesn't "move" the files from your local computer, but will copy them to the remote site. If we still don't have the "right" answer, ask again <G> -- Pat Asher Ambrose Genealogy http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~pasher/ Help for Beginning Web Authors http://freepages.computers.rootsweb.com/~pasher/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karen" <nchistoric@onemain.com> To: <RootsWeb-Help-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2001 4:22 PM Subject: Oh For Goodness Sakes---WS-FTP " HELP" > This is a second posting.
