Where is my index.htm file located?

Hi David:

I am back from the swamps of the Bayou, and came within 20 feet of a 15 foot
alligator while paddling a kayak down this tributary into the main bayou
swamp. Then, I get back home and while helping to clear some brush in an
overgrown field close to my home, I came within two feet of being bitten by a
five foot diamond back rattlesnake.

I think I am safer working on my website :-)

I have another question......

-------------------

I have mastered FileZilla, at least enough to transfer my saved .pub file to
the website in the form of "index_files," but for some reason I cannot upload
the home page (index.htm).

Not to sound too much like a neophyte, here is what I do:

1. I open "my computer," and and one of the icon folders on the right is
"ftp.lcn-hoa.com (my website)" which I open to examine the contents--shown
below:
_db_backups
index_files
stats
gdform.asp
index.htm
welcome.html

2. Now, the above contents are shown on the right side of my desktop screen.

3. I then open my .pub file for my Publisher 2007 webpage (on the left side
of the screen, under "my computer"), and can see only one item, as shown
below:
index_files.

I know that when one saves his work in the .pub file, all the changes are
ready for uploading to the website, using FileZilla.

4. Now, I drag and drop the index_files from the left side of my desktop
(under My Compuer) to the right side, and the contents of this updated
"index_files" replaces the website "index_files" inside of ftp.lcn-hoa.com
(my website).

5. The new index_files replaces ftp.lcn-hoa.com "index_files" on the right
side of my desktop, which does happen, because the time and date reflect the
changes made to my .pub file.

QUESTION: Where is the home page located (index.htm) so I can drag and drop
this file onto the right side of my desktop to replace the home page
(index.htm) file shown among the six items in #1 above.

When I use FileZilla, all the changed items in (index_files) from my .pub
file immediately replace the changed website pages to reflect that which I
saved when I made the changes to my .pub file.

I may NOT be doing the uploading correctly, but my method seems to work OK.
All that is left is to find the "index.htm" file among the open files and
folders on the left side of my desktop (under "computer") and drag it into
the right side of the desktop, and then use filezilla to get the job done.

Did I give you too much information??

Thanks for the help, Thomboy
