I have been using FrontPage 98 for my website publishing and it was fine. Unfortunately, I don't know what I am doing and I paniced when I saw that for some reason during one of my updates it started to read everything off of my hard drive: C:\ instead of my server so I deleted the files in Cuteftp and was planning to do a fresh publish with Frontpage (big no!no! I guess). I published a total of 447 files and what did the server do (probably in a reaction to my insanity) it put up the Under Construction page that you get when you first have your account.

Well, I deleted all files again and tried to republish but it is not working, Frontpage is timing out or getting confused (I know it is actually my confusion). So, I decided to try to use Cuteftp to upload the site. Well, it kind of worked but the pictures are not showing up even though I did upload them :( I transferred the images in Binary mode (whatever that means but I think I read it somewhere) into the hotdocs folder along with all the .htm pages that I transfered in Auto mode. Actually, it is transfering right now.

So, I am begging anyone with any information to help me out because I think I am going to go crazy very soon. I wrote to Customer Support but I find these boards a great source of knowledge. My url is http://www.uniqueinvites.net and if you go there you will see the mess I created. Any help is SO appreciated :)

Thanks so much in advance,
Michele Rodriguez

Hi Michele,

You need to put your images in a folder named images inside the htdocs folder. That is were the html code is looking for your images.

If you don't have a folder named images, you need to create one and then ( i believe with cuteFTP drag and drop the images ).
if not upload all your images to the new image folder.

Hi,
I know you helped me out before with a great critique of my website (when it was actually up). Thanks so much, I think Powweb should start to pay you :) I am going to do that right now and keep my fingers crossed.
Thanks,
Michele
