web page showing only text

[penguina]

When uploading files to server, the index_htm_files folder goes to higher directory and the server can't find it. When opening the files and uploading, they go to the right directory but only text from the index.htm file shows on the web page. I've spent an hour with the server rep and we can't figure out what's wrong. Any body got an idea?

Your server files should look something like this. Your subfolder may be named other than htdocs

P.S. ignore the backup folder

yes, there's no problem with how the files are on my HD. It's getting them on the server in the right place and once there, getting the web page to publish completely. The files are to go into a file named public_html. The individual files do go there but the folder goes to the same place as the public_html folder. Apparently, there is a link in the index.htm file that looks for the folder and not the files within the folder. But with the folder on a higher level and not in public_html, the link can't find it. What to do? I'm stumped. Thanks for your idea.

Welcome penguina, how are you uploading your files, via Web Designers publish feature or via an ftp program? If it's the later, can you supply a screen grab of your servers file structure? Can you give us a link to your problem page?

Hi, thanks for the welcome. I'm using an ftp client, WS-FTP. I've used this before on two web pages and had no trouble publishing. This is the first I've used Web Designer. Love the ease of making a web page with it. Now if I could get it published.... I will try to figure out how to send the info you requested later as it is 2 a.m. now. Brain is getting fuzzy. Thanks for your help!

Those are the files as they appear on the server. your ftp addres will end with /public_html not /htdocs.

As far as I can understand your problem it should be a simple case of uploading your index_htm_files folder to the same place as the .htm files.
