Help with FileZilla!

[SoundTheAlarm]

I am using FileZilla and I really have no clue what I am doing. I created a sample Notepad document and loaded it on to the webserver I think but yet when I go to my domain it doesn't show up....any help?

when you say you don't know what you're doing, are you referring to all computer things, just html, just website creation, just filezilla, or what?

log into your ftp account in filezilla, go to the document root (either right there or it'll be the public_html folder, depending on ur host) and upload an index.html file. this is the file that will be displayed when you go to the domain name (provided you put iti n the right folder)

You might not have properly named your document (must have been spaces in the name) or else you are not pointing to the correct source where you put it in the browser...other than than...make sure you are putting its extension as well when trying to access from a browser...be a little more elaborative so we can diagnose the prob. better

From reading your post, I'd *imagine* one of two things has happened:

1) You say you created a notepad document. However to show up when you simply go to the domain, the file must be named "index.htm", "index.html" or "index.php" (they are the 3 most common, anyway - it's "index.[something]"). Maybe you simply called the document "[something].txt" and uploaded it, in which case it wouldn't show up unless you went to yourdomain.com/[something].txt

2) When you login to an FTP space, in 99% of cases you simply connect to the 'home' directory, whereas you need to upload all your website files (so the index.[something] file) to the "public_html" folder. So connect to FTP, then navigate into "public_html" and upload the file there.
