OK, I'm building an Ultima and thought it a good idea to do a build website, I have used Front Page (it was already installed on my PC, before people say you shouldn't use that!!!)
Just to add that I am dangerous as I know a little to get me going and thats about all......
I now have five pages to upload, so I go to FTP Explorer and download the the FTP application, create a profile, hit connect and it all seems to work. I then go to my directories and drag & drop the files into the FTP directory. I can see them in the FTP but not in my web allocated space.

This might not make sense to you (I told you I was dangerous!)
Can someone please advise me on what to do in 'Janet & John' terms. I'll have the damm car finished before the site is up!!!!

When you say you cannot see them in your webspace you mean in IE ?

If so do you have one of the following as a main start page

index.htm
index.html
default.asp

OK I've done that, renamed my home page 'index.htm' and all the files are in the FTP directory.
This many sound dumb but how do I view in IE, when I type in my URL www.gpascoe.f2s.com/ I now get a 'Forbidden you have no access' message??

I'm obviously missing something here!

Sorry, I can't offer any technical help but I can see the text on your website, the pictures are missing though.

I can see clearly now all looks good but as chim girl has said you seem to be missing the images files apart from that all is there.

PS in the INDEX.HTM file you have <title>index.htm</title>

Change it to something better like <title>My Ultima Build</title> or something similiar

This will change the bit at the very top of the browser, ie here it says "Gassing Station - Microsoft Internet Explorer" you cannot get rid of the internet explorer bit though thats built into IE: I belive.

It just looks better than index.htm you can do that on all pages so it says something relevant for that page.

It does look like a nice little site.
