Files get published to home directory on server not public_html

[camelot217]

Some of my sites are with GoDaddy and for some odd reason when I publish through Xara all files goes to the home directory on their server not to public_html. Support at Godaddy don't know why since they are not familiar with Xara. This is happening with new sites. Old sites are OK. This is an issue on their side right?

Any ideas?

I don't use GoDaddy but you should be able to check what the sub-directory should be.

Open Web Properties > Publish.
Beside, Other web host (via FTP), click the Settings... button.

Check if your older sites are using a sub-directory.
Add the one where you expect to go to in your new site tot he Sub-folder (optional) field.

In the new window, you can also click the Explore web space to check your expected sub-folder exists.

Thanks

I had to specify 'public_html' as the sub folder for it to work. This is new. Never had to do that before.

Yes, you always had to do it before. But like most of us, you forgot.

I have to support you here on this bit.
I have never done so once with JustHost, I have always assumed they do that for you.
