Directory Help Please Options

[marynmissouri]

OK, so I still have the issue of not getting my images uploaded for some reason. I can get my webpage uploaded without the images and I have been working on this off and on for a few months now. I have switched my hosting as I had banners running at the top of my page through godaddy. *Not dissing godaddy*

I downleded this website and it's images and I go to upload into the directory and I dont ge my images? I right click and see the directory so I go and add more to my directory.

Would someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I use Filezilla.

Here is a preview: Directory: mysite.com

ADD: images

So I have this directory: httpdocs://mysite//images



So it looks like this when I type it in: http://www.mysite.com/my-web

Visually there is no images just red x's where the images go.

When I right click on the images it says: http://www.mysite.com/my-web/images/menue 1h gif


So my main directory is: mysite (all lowercase)

EXAMPLE: httpdocs//mysite

and then I add: images (into the directory)

EXAMPLE: httpdocs//mysite//images

If anyone has any suggestions I'm willing to listen.

Oh, does it matter were I download all of my work that I do on my pages?

And as far as Database... Do I need to create a database that says: mysite_images and when I add more just add more to the datdtbase?

I'm terribly confused at this point I been reading Too Much!

Will this effect my files?

Thank You

Mary

I don't like admitting this but yesterday I accidently deleted my main web page.
I got so frustrated and wanted to clean everything out and start from scratch since I could not find anything so I thought I will do that and see my public_html or my index_html. What a big mistake.

I use globat.com as my hosting co. and I don't see a public_html file. I'm not sure if I messed it up a few months ago when I first went there and did not how to use it.

Now I just want to get it all organized and for some reason yesterday I could not get my main page to view first. I could the webpage I downloaded and up but without my content in it? It was showing the page I actually downloaded?

I cant figure out the tree for some reason, or maybe I'm calling it wrong.

This is what I have......

marynmissouri.com

and then I built a site for .....

myname.com/template

then myname.com/template/stock

then
myname.com/template/stock/shop


Am I doing this all wrong?



Ok and another question I have of many.

1) If I accidently deleted my main public_html or index_html can I create a new one?

2) When I create a new image directory do I create it inside of the directory where my website files are or do I upload all images (from all web pages I design) just in the one image directory for all of the pages I want to upload?

3) when saving my websites files were is the best place to save them to?
I have been saving mine in::: my computer--->c drive--->documents and settings--->my file name
Is this good or would it be better to save somewhere else?

Well I was going to log into my account and give you a list of my files, but now I get a message "Account has not yet been provisioned" and they wont let me in. What does this mean?
