I have been struggling with loading a page for almost a year. I am using front page. Somehow in May I actually got the site up however I couldn't change the information. I discovered that I had several public html files when using ws_ftp program. Using the ws_ftp I removed the page. I have been studying Front page and thought I understood how to get the page up and be able to edit it. I am trying to load to ftp://users.rootsweb.com/publichtml Now I am getting a message saying "Host Info 1.htm permission denied on server (Filename(accept)". When I go to www.rootsweb.com/~vtcbarna <http://www.rootsweb.com/~vtcbarna > I see no public html however if I view what I loaded at ftp://vtcbarna@rootsweb.com/home0001/usa/vt/vtcbarna I see a mess that includes several public html. If anyone can help it would be appreciated. Carol

It appears that your FrontPage setup has caused some extraneous directories to be created in the account. The only 'public html' directory which counts is the one named 'public_html'. Every other variant which you've managed to create needs to be deleted: Public.html public.html publichtml And, somehow FrontPage has managed to create other directories which should be inside the public_html directory, but are instead in your account's home directory: _borders _derived _fpclass _overlay _private _themes images And I'm not sure why there's a subdirectory named 'vtcbarna' in there. In short, it's a mess. Since you have WS-FTP, I'd suggest logging in with it and deleting all these extraneous directories (everything except the supplied public_html one). If there are files inside the directory, they have to be deleted before you can delete the directory. Then, review your FrontPage set up with Ken Rury's hints and tips for FrontPage users. Just substitute 'users.rootsweb.com' for 'users.freepages.rootsweb.com' in his directions.
