Re: ftp web site space
 

i have tried going to the web site but it has not worked ..

i cant think of anything else to do ..i have spent all day trying to get this to work ,,but its not going to with the programs i have got, so i think i will have to give in ,,i'm not realy sure how filezilla works. and i dont know anything about html codes so it looks like its not going to happen ..
a very big thanks for all your help though ..
KP said he could make it work ,,very kind ,,but i would never be able to edit it if you see what i mean ,,

thanks chaps ..i need to get a beer now :( ;)

What's the total size of the directory you are trying to upload?

Re: ftp web site space
 

well i my old site it was abou 35 mb or so .

Re: ftp web site space
 

Ok, I think we need to wait for KP to take a look and see if he can move the files that you've uploaded already to where they should be.

At the very least he can restore the directory structure to what it should be so that we have a blank canvas.

I think the problem here is things have got so confused that we don't have a common starting point/frame of reference.

Once the online directory structure is sorted/straightened it should be possible to talk you through the upload a step at a time. I'll open up Filezailla on my machine and walk you through each step of the process, in theory we should both see the same screens (albeit I won't be able to see your directories/files but that shouldn't be a problem).

Once you've done it once you should be able to repeat the process.

I need to go out now though so it will have to be tomorrow night / later tonight.

There is one other alternative, but that would rely on KP sorting the structure of the site first, and then you getting someone else to upload the files for you. Not a great solution as they would need your password and you would still need to get the files to them.

I'll check back a bit later and see if there have been any developments.

I honestly think that if you can get this cracked you will see that it's money well spent :tu: :)

yahoo :D :D :D take a look at the domain name ..i think it has worked ..

was it me or did KP do it ,,

i just uploaded again on my sgw program and put the hyphen at the bottom
this time public_ not - can it be that simple ..
please say i did it :)

Re: ftp web site space
 

Not sure that you will have been able to upload 35Mb of files that quickly but it seems likely that you have.....or that KP has sorted it.

Putting the hyphen at the bottom will certainly make a difference.

The name of the folder is public_html not public-html (the first one uses an under-score, the second uses a hyphen).

I would wait and see if KP posts back to say that he sorted it, we may still need to talk you through the upload process for any files that you create from new or amend in the future.

Good going though, told you we'd get there in the end :)

Re: ftp web site space
 

well it certainly works - nice one :tu:

One thing, Sheridan - you wouldn't have got the level of support that KingPhoenix has offered, with just any hosting company, it is one reason why many of us have no hesitation in recommending I-Web. :cool:

Re: ftp web site space
 

yep i think i got it .

i just edited a page out of the site .re- uploaded and it worked .
so far so good ,:)
also the sgw program has a file site box ,,i put public_html in that as well .
that might have been it ..never had to do that with ntl.
:) big thanks to ya all ..:D

Re: ftp web site space
 

Sounds like you're on a roll there, nice one :tu:

Re: ftp web site space
 

yes i agree ,and all you chaps on this site have been ,so good to me .
i was expecting to get ignored before long but you still wanted to help ..
good people indeed ,,cant thank you enough :D
i need a large drink now ,,cheers ,all :)

Re: ftp web site space
 

Nice 1.... Glad you got it sorted sheridan....

Well done all others.... support much appreciated.....

Re: ftp web site space
 

Definitely :)

Re: ftp web site space
 

Couldn't have done it without you KP.....got any jobs going ;)

Re: ftp web site space
 

I've just put an index.html in my public_html directory and it's not working. Is this because my site hasn't propagated yet?

http://66.199.245.98

Also - I'm trying to get dreamweaver to access the site remotely, but I'm not entirely sure what to put in the boxes? Sorry for the newbie q's - I've only used ntl's web space before. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong and could do with some help.

Cheers in advance for looking - Dilli :)

Re: ftp web site space
 

To view your site with an ip address it will have to be a dedicated ip or you will need to use the format like this
http://66.199.245.98/~username
