I am trying to put the site that I'm building online using FTP. I could get it to work with Dreamweaver before, but now for some reason it will not work. I'm really not sure what I did wrong, can someone please help me? I downloaded a free FTP program and it is able to sign in and put my site online but I need to use some things from Dreamweaver (centering layout, background colour, etc.) and I wasn't able to upload the CSS files with the other program.

I am using www.50megs.com to host my site.

Here is the information that I inputed into Dreamweaver:



Local Info:

Site Name: OSTBIA
Local Root Folder: D:\Work Websites\OSTBIA\
Default Images Folder: D:\Work Websites\OSTBIA Website\
Links Relative To: Root Folder
HTTP Address: http://www.ostbia.ca/
Cache: Enable Cache

**Note** I did not know where to put the default images.....A warning comes up when I click away from the Local Info and says: WARNING: The Images Folder Is Not Inside The Site. **Note**


Remote Info:

Access: FTP
FTP Host: www.50megs.com
Host Directory: /
Login: *********
Password: ********
Use Secure FTP: Yes
Maintain Synchronization Information: Yes

**Note** I Checked And Made Sure That My Login Information Is Correct. **Note**

If anyone can help me, that would be really great. I need to get this site up and running for my clients.

FTP Host: www.50megs.com

This is most likely your problem. You should have an FTP login URL (not your host company's website). Perhaps ftp.ostbia.ca or ftp.50megs.com/username or something similar to that.

As it looks right now, DW is trying to make the FTP connection to www.50megs.com rather than to an FTP webspace.
