viewing pages after uploading via FTP

[arkenyon]

I just got my site activated and FTP'd some files to the site to test it out. Everything looks as though it transferred OK in the FTP client (WS-FTP), but I get the ol' 404 File Not Found error when I try to open the uploaded page.

The page I FTP'd is test.html.

My temporary URL is http://arkenyoncom.powweb.com/

The page I am trying to view is
http://arkenyoncom.powweb.com/test.html

Am I missing something? Thanks for any help.

make sure you upload the files to the htdocs folder

Most FTP Clients..... unless you specify.... ther remote folder... will dump all uploads into the root folder....

if you log in.... and see

/ect
/htdocs
/cgibin
/logs


then it is putting all the file in the root... and can't be seen...

if you have the option " not familiar with wsFTP...."..... set the remote directory at logon to /htdocs......

and it will put the files in the proper place....

Your INDEX.HTML is obviously in the right place. Are you sure the TEST.HTML is in the same folder?

Also, be sure the CHMOD settings include READ for all.

by default.... anything placed in the htdocs folder.... is set to read.... you shouldn't ever have to change this....

Also.... just make sure.... your files are named in lowercase....

UNIX.... doesn't like uppercase....
