Man of Honour
I'm having major problems publishing my website to it.
Anybody here got a Fasthosts account or similar - help needed

fasthosts are replying in world record time but I'm getting nowhere.
You have to enable frontpage extensions and ASP which I have done.
You have to PUBLISH WEB from inside Frontpage and you have to get your files into a htdocs directory but I can't get files into it. I get error messages saying it doesn't exist even though I can see it. If I go on another FTP program I can make directories, drag into them, download from them but I can't get anything into this htdocs directory and I need to, to get it all to work.
I've been used to putting my index.htm file onto the root directory of my webspace but as I said it needs to go into the htdocs directory.

weescott said:I'm using fasthosts (business) for a site of mine. Not had a problem. I use IE to FTP as well!
Can you do a screen grab of the structure inside your htdocs directory so I can see what I should be seeing?
This is mine -
The one on the left is the root directory and the one on the right is inside the htdocs directory
I don't think I've got permissions setup for that directory.
I've just used IE to try and drag a file into it and get an error message.
If you look at my picture I can drag a file into any of those folders on the left except the htdocs directory.
I presume that you can drag and drop a file into the htdocs so that must mean I haven't got permissions from their end.

Sorted and guess what? - I hadn't got permissions.
Thanks to all.
Thanks to all.
