Can't upload site.

[Plumley]

I am making web sites for some people and i already have
one on my FTP. I am trying to upload the sites into
Geocities and Angelfire. I named my main page index and
that uploads fine. Then i try to go to the next pages
and they will not show up. It says that when i put the
cursor over the next hyperlink to the next page that the
page is in index_files and then it won't go to the page.
I have uploaded all information into the builders and
still can't get the other sites to show. Can anyone help
me out here? Thanks

You would have failed to upload the "index_files" folder, this is covered in
my FAQ - www.davidbartosik.com/faq.htm
I recommend publishing with Publisher so as to avoid this failure.
See my sites tutorial page for a tutorial on uploading.

www.geocities.com/bbc_cooker that is the site. I just followed your
tutorial and still can't get it. What do i save the page as? I saved it as
a webpage. Am i not suppose to do that? Thanks for the help so far hope
this helps.




1.
the first 4 articles on my sites 2002 section covers the problems with 2002
and documents that you should install Service Packs 1 and 2. I can tell from
your code that you are not at 2002 SP2. I urge you to do so. This was also
covered in the tutorial which demonstrates that the service packs modify the
"File, Save as web" to "File, Export as web".
2.
checking your site I can verify that you are not uploading the sub-folder
which contains the sites sub-pages (pages 2 and on). This may be due to a
failure on your part or perhaps be due to the web host not having
permissions for you to write a folder, the latter is a topic covered on my
FAQ page.
3.
you can remove the issue of not uploading the sub-folder by simply not using
the sub-folder. Turning off the sub-folder is covered in my documentation
and also is covered in the tutorial.
