Read file_manager
first.
The parent directory is what you see when you open file manager or an
FTP program. You will notice 5 directories already placed there by the
Domain set-up program.
Open and Upload your files under the domain-www directory.
You may notice the www directory will duplicate the
files you place in the domain-www directory. The www directory in
user's parent directories is in fact not a directory. In actuality, it is
a symbolic link, which points to the user's domain-www directory.
Whatever you do, do NOT DELETE directories from your parent directory. Read
this.

If you use Microsoft® FrontPage® to Publish your web, it
automatically uploads files into correct directories. Before
you start, go to your Control Panel (yourdomain.com/menu) and click on FrontPage
Extensions, then install.
Once loaded, it will take over your web. Be advised that some tools we
provide may lack function with FrontPage installed. Notably, the protect
directories function.
FrontPage is as simple as writing a word document and when your ready to go
online, click one button to publish.
To upload files with Netscape's Composer use the publish
button. In the Location field type
ftp://yourdomain.com/www/
This will place the file into your webspace. Don't forget to include your
username and password.
If you wish to place the file in a sub-directory you must first create that
directory with the file manager. Then the location would be
ftp://yourdomain.com/www/subdirectory.
If our white "Welcome to domainname.com!" page,
index.html, has not been replaced by another index page, then anyone going to
domainname.com will still see the white page instead of some other home page.
This is the order in which the web server looks for a page to put up as
the "home" page:
>Directory Index
- default.htm
- index.phtml
- index.pht
- index.cgi
- index.shtml
- index.html
- welcome.cgi
- welcome.html
- index.htm
Just delete the index.hmtl file and anything after it in this
list will then come up automatically. Notice
that "home.html" is NOT on the list and so will not show up as your
home page. You would need to rename it.
