I have webspace but no site set up as i usually just link to files on my site - mainly images, however, my space has stopped working for some reason or other, the folder i mainly use is http://www.wesleybrookes.co.uk/pics but nothing shows up, however i can view all my files perfectly fine from my control panel, any ideas?
I can't view my folders on my webspace - help?

you need to allow access in the .htaccess file to be able to see folders/files.
You need to check your web providers support pages as some don't allow it in some packages.
Good luck ( if they DO allow, a quick google for .htaccess will get you the options )

my Htaccess file is in my /public.html folder and it's permissions are set to read and write but not execute, i tried changing to execute and it still didn't work. can you elaborate a little please?
Infact, on further checking, i've just tried to view htaccess but it's empty, should it be?

Simply put, they are invisible plain text files where one can store server directives. Server directives are anything you might put in an Apache config file (httpd.conf) or even a php ini file (php.ini, that is, unless you are running under phpsuexec, in which case you would use an actual php.ini for those), but unlike those "master" directive files, these .htaccess directives apply only to the folder in which the .htaccess file resides, and all the folders inside.
