Once connected you will see a listing of files within your site. You will see the 'www' - 'public_html' or 'html' and 'cgi-bin' directories in right window  (depending on the sever info sent to you).

On the left-hand side will be files on your hard drive and on the right-hand side will be files on our server. When you are ready to upload your files to our server, change the directory on our server by clicking on the 'www' - 'public_html' or 'html' .

Then drag the files you wished to be copied from the left-hand side to the right-hand side.

You must place all your html and image files in the  'www' - 'public_html' or 'html' . directory.

Only files placed in the 'www' - 'public_html' or 'html' .directory, they can be viewed on your website. Keep all filenames in lowercase characters. Your main page should be called index.html or index.htm.

The webserver first looks for index.html by default and if not there it looks for index.htm and index.shtml.
