I've just got my second sub-domain, so I know how to use FTP and everything. I've been trying to add pages, but none of them will show up. And when I try to add my index.html page, the default page still stays there, screenshot.

I use Ipswitch WS_FTP Home. I even tried to use smartftp, but it still didn't work.

Help? huh.gif

Hi! smile.gif
Could you have placed the index.html somewhere else than where you think? For example, mostly, but not always, you have to place files that should be accessible from the web in a special folder. Could be called www or something with http. That is, when you ftp to the server you "land" in a folder that is one step up from where you should put your HTML.

Hm, I don't think so.
With the FTP program I use, when you connect to the server, you just click and drag the folders and it appears on the site.
It's really weird cause this didn't happen with my first site. :/
pandy
Yes, but when you connect with FTP, what do you see on the server side? Do you see folders there that you haven't created yourself? What are they called?
colourmestupid
It just has an object there called .ftpquota
:S
But when I first started to use it on my site, it already had an index.html page there, but on this one, it doesn't.
Maybe it has something to do with that.

You don't see any folders whatsoever? IPB Image
Can you step upwards from the folder you are in or is that the topmost one?
colourmestupid
Nope.

And yes, I'm in the topmost folder.

I think I'm going to have to ask my host for some help. :/
