You've given me some things to investigate, certainly. I should have provided you a URL before, sorry. Its www.mikedesigns.co.uk. I was given the webspace as a favour from a friend and so have never had direct contact with the hosting company nor have I got a host control panel. He gave my the ftp address and username/password. Having run a trace search from my URL it says the host is fasthosts.co.uk. Should I try contacting them anyway or ask my friend what to do? Once again, thank you. Mike Hi Flash

Do you have a control panel with your web host that let's you choose the settings? Many hosts use cpanel or an equivalent for their control panel. It's difficult to diagnose the issue without your URL and or hosting company. You might try contacting your web hosting company for help troubleshooting your problem. Hope that helps. -flash Hey Mike, this could be because you have your root directory password protected. Do you have a control panel with your web host that let’s you choose the settings?

I've uploaded my index page and an image onto my ftp space via filezilla. The index page simply has text relating to where the image is stored and this info is correct. The problem is: when I test the page online a box comes up saying "The ftp. (web address):21 requires a username and password", there is also spaces in the box to input username and password. I personally have the username and password, but any users visiting the site won't have. What should I do to allow open access to view images on my website? Many thanks in advance. Hi,

I tried navigating to the public_html directory in my browser but that yields the same 404. I have now moved everything to the root (and deleted the additional index.html for now (there is still a home.html (with the html code in for the actual site) and an index.html file). But alas even with all in root still yields 404. Hi, thanks for the quick response. I tried navigating to the public_html directory in my browser but that yields the same 404.

I think since you had to create the public_html directory, you probably don't need it. Try moving the files to the root or looking in the sub-directory public_html and see if you can access your files there. If you send me a link to your domain I would be glad to help you further. -flash Hey Dave, have you tried going to yourdomain.com/public_html/ and seeing if your files are located there?

I've been trying to fix a problem and it's driving me a bit crazy. I have created a website using iWeb and have exported the sites files to my computer so they are ready to put onto the FTP server for my company's website. When I first logged into the FTP thing there were no files on the server except a 'logs' directory. I created a public_html directory and then copied my site into that appropriately. I also copied an index.html file that is 'seperate' from the website when iWeb exports the website and put that one in the root directory (i.e. alongside public_html). Now, the issue is all the files are there but they do not show up when you enter the web address in a browser. I was thinking this may be something to do with me just 'making' the public_html folder, but surely that's the only way? Sorry to be vague and confusing but I'd really appreciate help as I've spent ages searching the internet for an explanation and am starting to give up hope!!! Thanks, Dave. Hi there.
