Did you read pinned topic about WsFTPPro? You have to enter the directory called public_html. In there you'll find the files you see through your cPanel File Management. WWW directory is just a short cut link to public_html. All your web page related files should be under public_html and its sub-directories.

when i first connect all it comes up with is folders:
QUOTE
_private
cgi-bin
chat
icons
images
main(folder i created for phpnuke)


i cant seem to get to the public folder...

You are, then. already in the public_html folder. So what seems to be the problem here? You upload your phpnuke theme files to main/{proper folder dir}

You must use QUOTE tag even when listing directories!

QUOTE
_private
cgi-bin
images
Leave these alone. These directories are used when you install scripts in the future. The images is a default directory for storing all your picture files, although you are not binded to it. Looks like you installed a chat script and icon folder either created with it or by phpnuke or you made it. And "main" folder seems to be what you named the directory when you installed phpnuke. So what's the problem again?

ok well its hard to describe what seems to be the problem... ill try my best. (btw sory for not using quotation)

well i connect using CuteFTP, i set my host adress to
QUOTE
www.ghci-esp.trap17.com
set my password and username. It connects and comes up with the following folders which i stated in the previous post. Thing is, when i access my "main" folder(which is the folder i made for phpnuke to be set up/installed in) it comes up with a bunch of subfolders within the main folder like for example(im not going to state them all sad.gif their is allot))
QUOTE
http://ghci-esp.trap17.com
http://ghci-esp.trap17.com/main
http://phpnuke.org/files
images/topics
includes/tiny_mce
themes/DeepBlue/Images

and various other folders and files. What i want to get to is my main/themes folder so i can upload new themes, but even when i try these folders such as the http;//ghci-esp.trap17.com/main folder(within the main folder) it just brings me back to this list of folders...

hmm i hope this helps with describing my situation... sory for not responding sooner but it was fri night and i was tired from school (believe it or not on a fri lol)

    QUOTE Obtaining SMF You can download the latest beta from the download page on the

    needed to get up and running. We suggest you download the zip option as this is most common and
    therefore you are more likely to have the tools required to unzip it already installed on your
    computer. Unzip the package, ensuring you keep the directory structure, if you are using Windows ...

    the files and type in my password and username in Frontpage? If so, can you lead me to a thread that
    explains it or tell me? If not, is there an easier way to upload files into the File Manager
