Re: getting my website on the internet

when you download files you are downloading them to YOUR COMPUTER

since you say you purchased a domain a couple days ago hopefully you signed up for the hosting to have it here at bravenet

not sure if your site is fully propogated and that yet so you can start building it as well

you may see files there in your file manager area but You have to make your page and publish it and all and upload your pages depending on how you make your page and more depends on how you get it on the net and more


also using the ftp applet of bravenet's isn't the best of things to use either.


Would have an ftp program of some kind on your computer so you can use that.

But as said a lot of things depend on HOW YOU make your site when it is propogated enough to start working on and more things too


you have not given a URL to your site for sure to fully know what is happening and all either.


But so many things here and since you have no clue yet on things just need to take things

One thing at a time

Re: getting my website on the internet

Michael - first of all you wont see a website unless and until you have a file named:

index.html

This file HAS to be on the bravenet server (in your little space).

I always use the applet and have no problems with it - and if as you say you managed to tranfer 8 files - it ought to be able to do the rest of them (are they in an acceptable format?)

The other thing you could do - if you have the html code for your index page on your computer you could copy and paste into the bravenet test editor - then use the upload images facilty to upload your images - it's long winded but better than being frustrated ... and doing nothing

Re: getting my website on the internet

That should be

Bravenet TEXT editor and not TEST editor
