Theme formatting gone when web is uploaded to server

B

using FP 2000. My web is built using a FP theme but once I uploaded my web
to my server the background, buttons, banner and hit counter do not display.
Those items show text only. All the other graphics on my web transferred
and display properly.

TIA

Make sure all the folders were transferred over too. All the theme
information is there. If you 'publish' FP will take care of it. I use
FTP-LE to sent to a non FP server for another project and highlight the
files AND the folders and everything works fine. I know this 'cause I did
the same thing.

Yes, I used CuteFTP to transfer the web files. For whatever reason when I
try to "publish" the web using FP I get a timed out error. No problems
using CuteFTP to connect.
Used CuteFTP to ftp the web files and the theme's folder. I'm using
"Industrial" theme - folder found in programs files/common files/Microsoft
shared/themes/indust. That folder includes 3 files; indust.elm, indust.utf8
and indust.inf. Tried ftping the whole folder and no good. Website up but
no background banners buttons....

Also FP said my server needs to update their FP extensions. Sent off an
email to my server but they have instructions on using FP(one of several
choices of software) to create a web so I would assume they already support
FP extensions.

Oh well.... any further ideas? Thanks for you help so far.

I use FTP-LE, its free if you tell it you are a student at home. I use FP
2000 and I show 9 folders in my setup.

You are probably using the wrong files. The themes and other necessary
files should be folders with the .htm files you are FTPing to your host. I
would check about timeouts since I publish via a 56k modem and I'm sending
426 files and about a meg of info.

Use your explorer to look at the files attached to your web, they should all
be 'published'

Found and transferred the theme's folder. Now the background and buttons
are displayed properly but the banner and hit counter are still not
displayed.

Any further suggestions? ...and thanks again.
