I'm trying to ftp up an index page and a few quick graphics to get started on my new site. I notice a difference in the directory structure than my other hosts use, so read through the ftp instructions.

It details in there that there should be a cgi, an htdocs, and a couple of other directories. But, when i get logged in via ftp, all i see is a folder named "." and a folder named "..", no other directories. putting an index.html file there was no good, I tried creating my own htdocs folder, still no luck. I'm used to having a cgi folder but putting my index file outside the cgi folder at the root of the sites folder.

Am I missing something or in the wrong directory? It's just different than the set ups I'm used to on unix servers? I don't know.. Any ideas or direction? TIA.

Hi Joe!

If your default folders are not created within an hour or so, e-mail support@powweb.com. The good folks there will take care of everything for you and set them up.

Good luck!

Thanks bud,

I sent them a message cause i've
been waiting long time now. I was
trying to rule out an operator problem
first if you know what i mean.

I'm surprised it allowed you to even log in :confused: I've heard of one of the folders not being present...but none of them? Hmmm...

Which FTP program are you using, by the way?
