ftp to your space and place everything in the public_html folder. Make sure your "starting page" is named index.html


That's it!

IE != Mozilla

Back when Netscape was king and people only coded for NS (long time ago, but it did happen), Netscape's UA string had "Mozilla" in it (it stood for "Mosaic Killa", making fun of Mosaic, the other browser at the time). Most coders would search for "Mozilla" to generate content, and in order for IE to get any kind of use at all they too had to put "Mozilla" in the UA string. It's kinda like how Opera and Konqueror allows you to identify as IE right now

Use Total Commander, whic can be downloaded on http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail.php3?fid=945901171.

When you installed it, run the program and click URL button.

Type the adrees of your FTP which is : ftp://yourusername@ftpadrress

You will be prompted to enter your password. Afterwards you will be connected to your FTP server with freewebspace, you can use this program same as Windows Explorer, file transfering from drive to drive in this case your FTP server.

What I'd recommend you is to use a Ftp client to upload your website, because Cpanel is confucing at first, I had a lot of trouble at first when I started using Cpanel, so I used a Ftp client and it was a lot easier, also make sure the the index.html doesn't have the "I" capitalized because it won't work, it happend to me, I uploaded everything to publich.html but didn't work until I named everything including index.html without capitalization and everything worked perfectly
