David,

Well Geez!...I guess I'm just retarded. I thought I WAS following the
directions! You all make it sound so easy and I feel soooo STUPID!!!!!!!! I
don't know exactly how drag and drop works (drag from where & drop to where?
They didn't say int the instructions!) but I do know how to right-click a
folder and choose "upload". When I did that a bunch of files started
scrolling in the top pane and it lasted for FOUR HOURS and wasn't successful.
Should I have stopped it before it completed. No I did not try to upload a .
pub file!

The file folder, www.lacyquarterhorses.com, is present in the remote site
pane of Filzilla along with a bunch of other unfamiliar folders and files
with old dates, but the website doesn't show any changes here on my computer.
What should I do with it?

I'm not enough of a glutton for punishment to want to do this again unless I
know what I did wrong (assuming the problem was caused by something I did
wrong) and how to correct it so that it can be completed in a reasonable
amount of time!

Yes, I read the articles which, in some cases, describe different methods ...
suprise suprise. At any rate they didn't give me any answers.

I think it is just as likely that my Netzero dial-up so slow.

Sorry I'm such a poor student,
Kristi

As per the last part. It is talking about putting your webfiles into the
root folder on the host server. If you logged onto your host server with
FileZilla you should be able to see where your index.htm file and your
index_files folder is located in the directory on your host. That is where
you upload the new files. That is your root directory. The links about
uploading with XP and Vista also talked about where the root folder is on
GoDaddy.

Go back and read the instructions again and I have added some other links
this time. Perhaps one set of instructions will make more sense to you than
another.

Look at that link to Aplus.net: How do I upload with Filezilla:
http://www.apluskb.com/scripts/How_do_I_upload_with_answer3668.html
It is not exactly the same for GoDaddy, but it should help.

Here are instructions from GoDaddy. Using FileZilla to Upload Your Site:
http://help.godaddy.com/topic/430/article/104

And some more: Connect To Your Web Server Through FTP With FileZilla:
http://jarretcade.net/connect-to-your-web-server-through-ftp-with-filezilla

How to set up ftp filezilla for GoDaddy hosting account:
http://www.ehow.com/how_4887995_ftp-filezilla-godaddy-hosting-account.html

And of course you can read the FileZilla instructions again. Hopefully one
of these sets of instructions will help you figure it out.

How big is your index_files folder? Are you sure you were not trying to
upload the .pub file?

One thing you can do as a safety precaution as you learn to upload is to add
the extension '.old' to the index.htm file and your index_files folder on
the server before you try to upload your new files. In other words log on
using the filezilla and rename index.htm file on the web server to
'index.htm.old' and index_files to 'index_files.old'. Now your old files
will not be overwritten when you upload your new files. And just in case if
you have problems uploading the new ones, you can always remove the .old
from the original files and folder and your site will work again.

Try uploading just the index.htm file first. Then try uploading the
index_files folder. It being bigger will take longer, but perhaps if you can
find success with the index.htm file, then at least you will know the
process works.

Good luck. Seriously, after you get this figured out and do it a few times
it is no more difficult than copying files to a CD...you are just copying
files to another computer. Good luck.
