Hmmm.. if you are uploading it must be going somewhere. What FTP client are you using and what is the URL in question eg: yourdomain.com/folder you can PM me if you feel the info is private.

Did you create a new FTP user and now when you upload using that new username and then check with the master FTP user, the files are not where you thought???

If that is the case, you may have missed a step when you created the new FTP user. The path for the new user (in OPS) needs to point to /www/u/username/htdocs/newfolder If you did not add the "htdocs" to the path, then the folder would have been created outside of your htdocs.

Log in using your master FTP user account and look at the same level as your htdocs and cgi-bin folders, see if you have a "stealth" folder located there.
