We recommend not altering the sub-directories in any way other than adding your files into them or changing permissions. You will find a file called index.html which is the default page for your site and as you upload your site this page will be over written by your own index.html The index.html page is the page that the browser automatically defaults to when your site is requested by a visitor CGI scripts must be in the /cgi-bin subdirectory and have file permissions set to the correct chmod otherwise they will not run correctly Upload your graphic files (such as .jpg or .gif files) in 'Binary' mode and HTML or scripts in 'ASCII' mode You can create an unlimited number of subdirectories (folders) within your web space to organize your site using the FTP command 'mkdir' Your site can be updated as many time as you require with FTP access 24 hours a day 7 days a week There are many FTP programs which you can use to upload your site to the server, WS FTP Pro from Ipswitch is a popular FTP program and easy to use See Also Why pay for web space when I can get it FREE What is Perl What is PHP What is a CGI Bin What is Chmod What is MySQL What is a POP 3 Mailbox What is a web server You offer 30 day money back Gurantee "What's the catch" How reliable is your hosting HTTP Error Codes
