Updating Website, Ftp Problems

chriso_cd
2 problems!
a) how do i update my website??? like if i make changes to the code of say my index.html page, how do i make these changes take place on the website online??

cool.gif how come my ftp uploads my files to a file under my public_html folder but also under a folder with my user name (public_html/username ) ??? this makes it so the url of my site isnt www.abc.trap17.com anymore but www.abc.trap17.com/username/ ---- this makes no sence!!

Hmmm the top ones easy, just upload the new site and overwrite the old index page but the second one i have no idea about i use Firefox ftp plug in.

I find that the firefox ftp plugin actually cuts out halfway through

what FTP do you use?

When you open up the ftp program, make sure that you navigate to the public_html folder before starting the uploads.
Which ftp software are you using? Filezilla is good (and free), and I've also had good luck with Fireftp for Firefox2. Cuteftp, Smartftp, bunch of good ones available.

Well, I use FireFTP and that seems to work fine. Just make sure you're loading to the correct folder. I'm sortof lazy sometimes so I'm a fan of the drag and drop functionality.

I've tried FileZilla but ikt times out. Is it my connection or what? I can see other site and even when Hotmail is loading the full version-It doesn't on a slow connection- I still get connection timed out. Could it be my firewall? What does it say if ports 2077 and 2078 are not open? I'm using WIN2003. How do I open the ports?

    My website was working fine, then when I tried to access it on Core FTP Lite (to upload files) Core
    FTP couldnt connect (i've changed my password, but forgot to change it on Core FTP). I
    disconnected from Core FTP to try and change my password, but then it couldn't re-connect, and

    I was reading some of these messages in this forum and I noticed that I had heard some of them
    before and when I thought about where I believe it was copied directly from a religious tract
    (little hand outs that Christians use to spread their faith) I know that if you copy/paste from a
    website it is against trap17's rules but what about this? It is the same thing, plagiarism (tho
    technically they most likely have the rights to copy it in any way possible but it still is not
    their own writing) Please note I have nothing against Christians or the whole spreading your...
  5. Contradictions In Website Rules - (2)
    Hey there all. Trap17 seems like a great website for free hosting and seems to have a great
    community behind it. Anyway I was reading through the terms and conditions before signing up to
    these forums and I've also been reading the stickies here and there. I think I've come
    across some conflicting rules. One sticky mentions that each host credit you obtain equates to the
    number of days you can stay inactive on the forums. On the other hand the terms and conditions of
    registering to this website clearly mention that: QUOTE * Stay active (suspension): Once a u...

  30. Problem With Permissions/website Down - (4)
    Hello, I have a little GREAT problem. My website is down and itīs my fault. I was trying to make
    some php panels to update my website without using DW/FTP. A friend is helping me and we talk by
    mails. He told me that I had to give write permissions to "images" folder in order to upload images
    from my HD to the FTP. So I did it and I saw that didnīt work, so I had the terrible idea (on my
    own) to prove that with "www" folder. Iīm using WS_FTP and I went to "www" and did
    right-button->chmod. I put some adittional permissions just to try and soon I discovered that my web
