I can't modify my website

[d0t30]

I just got a site with funpic.org, and I can FTP things to it, but not modify or replace or delete things that I have already FTPed. I have the program FTP explorer, and I can't really figure it out. :confused:

you alter the pages on your comp using notepad, then reupload them. It doesnt take much time and it is easy.

Thanks. That worked, but now, my "homepage" is just all the files and pictures, and I want my HTML doc to be the home page. See what I'm talking about on dot3 (http://dot3.funpic.org). Do I need something in my code to make it go to my actual page?

If you rename the file that you want to be the home page to index.html (or index.asp or index.php - whatever language you are using) then it should come up as your home page.

The way most web servers are set up, whenever a url is entered like http://somesite.com/some_directory, the server looks for a file called "index.(whatever)" in the "some_directory" directory. It is a setting on the server, and the admin can add or remove default page names (so that if "index.(whatever)" isn't found, the server can look for "home.(whatever)" or something else), but "index.(whatever)" should work.

yep, just rename it to index.html a URL automatically looks for an index page when it is entered.

I did, and it still doesn't work. Again, it is dot3.funpic.org (http://dot3.funpic.org).

Never mind. I renamed it Index not index... makes all the difference in the world... Thanks you guys.
