Update on this.
I have now got access to cPanel From I guess the host / server website. Lots of icons.

is this good. Can I perhaps do more now I have this access compared to just the ftp access I had before

FTP is what you want though. You needed to download the files, edit them, then upload them.

Yeah. I did that and managed to do some bits. The biggest problem I have is the website has links to particular files / meetings etc. That are there within the ftp program I use. But not working / viewable from the actual website.

so trying to work our how to link and show the files

If the host caused your website to be offline I'd be moving host.

Don't say that they just learnt how to FTP and change a picture.

Right, sorry to have to say this but either sit down with a lot of literature and learn something like wordpress and basic hosting or give it to someone with experience.
Its never ever going to be anything other than a mess without doing it properly.
And when i see a messy webpage nowadays for something i am looking for i simply click and move on - if the front end is a mess then whats the rest of the thing like?

Tis not the easiest of things to just pick up.

Who is the host? That is unacceptable. Any host should not have downtime of more than a couple of hours, and that is usually in the early hours of the morning.

thank you for the heads up. Was up at one point when I checked yesterday.
I have now just emailed the gentleman who pays the fees to the host telling him this is unacceptable and we’re not getting a service that we pay for.

Again. Thanks for the heads up.
