I'm 100% new to powweb and any sort of non-free webservice so I'm having a few issues. The one that I would like to touch base on first is downloadable content. I made a folder in my main directory called images just so that I could test a few things out. I proceeded by uploading a file called stormtrooper.bmp. My domain is teamsnpr.com. I tried accessing the file, which to as far as my knowledge should be www.teamsnpr.com/images/stormtrooper.bmp

I'm probably doing something really stupid, but if possible let me know what I am doing wrong. Thanks.

Is your folder in your htdocs folder ? Htdocs folder is all what is accessible from a web browser

HTTP 404 - File not found

Which means the file is not where you think it is.

FTP into the server and make sure you have it in the htdocs/images ... dir/folder ... and all folders and file names are case sensitive.

So the htdocs folder is basically the root directory for my domain?

Yes, all of your viewable files need to be within the htdocs directory

What about other downloadable content, such as zipped files and whatnot?
