When you "Publish to the Web" Publisher will produce an "index.htm" file
(your home page) and a "index_files" folder that contains the supporting
graphics and additional pages to your site.
Try logging on to your FTP site BEFORE you try to drag and drop BOTH the new
index.htm file and the index_files folder to the FTP site. Sometimes it
helps if you delete your old index.htm file and index_files folder from the
FTP site before uploading the new. If that makes you paranoid, then just
rename the old files, and leave them where they are in case something goes
wrong.
Consider downloading, installing and using FileZilla for your FTP client.

Hey, Rob, I don't think the stats nor .pub files were published to the
website. I merely mentioned all the files in the FTP folder on my
computer
to explain that I thought I could drag the index_files from my Publisher
.pub
document to the FTP file and they would replace the existing index_files
in
the FTP folder, and viola, the new pages would be published at the
Website.
Thanks for the reply.
