Hello Everybody,

My friend created a folder in his FTP space... I would like to know if in this folder I could use it to create a website?... if so... how or what do I have to do?

I tried to create a website using this space, but when I type the address and click go.. it shows me the files... like pictures.. and html files... but not the web site.

Thank you for ur help!

Once you have put the files in place using FTP, you can view them via http. Is this what you are doing?

e.g. ftp.server.com/directory

will be viewed with something like http://www.server.com/directory.

This of course assumes, that an ftp server and http server are running on the machine and, are configured to have the samme root directory, and DNS records have been setup to point both ftp.server.com and www.server.com to the same Machine.
