Hi all

I am hopeful that someone out there may be able to offer some advice with regards to uploading to my Bravenet web space.

I am using my own software to build and upload via it's built in ftp programmes (Serif Web Plus 10). I have placed all the information into the ftp client and uploaded. At this time im getting an "505 index.html:permission denied" notice.

Would be really greatful if someone out there could maybe point me to where i am going wrong.

Thanks in advance

Tony

your main page to your site is index.html or index.htm

you need to check your ROOT directory area to make sure you have a site there titled index.htm or index.html


it is trying to find your site as stbhire.com/index.html and it can't

you have the 403 error which usually says you have deleted your index.html page or something


so if your homepage is titled somethingsilly.html or home.html or whatever you need to rename it

Hi Thanks for the reply.

Are you saying that i have to change the name of the site on my pc to "index.html"?

Also, do i have to make a directory file on the web space? if so, does this have to be a specific name?

I know my web site was there at one time (have deleted it since) but i still could not see anything? perhaps this is due to the name of the site not being "index.html" at the time?

I hope you can clarify these points for me.

Thanks for your help it really is appreciated.

Regards

Tony

well with you saying you deleted your index.html page from the directory that is why you have the page that comes up now

YOur main home page to your site HAS to be index.htm or index.html


when you sign up for the free hosted subdomain or purchase a domain you have a placeholder index.html page already there. ALL YOU have to do is make your index.html page and publish it over it

do not mess with what bravenet puts in there then you have a mess as you may have at moment

so whatever your homepage is just change the name to index.html and publish it to your root directory


then you can do whatever you want with rest of your pages basically
