FrontPage

Do I need to use the FTP Remote Folder details?

If you have a hosting account with UK-Cheapest then your FTP upload details will include a remote folder path (or directory) which needs to be inserted into your FTP program. This remote folder is,

/httpdocs

This must be used in order for you to connect to the correct location in your webspace.

Files received into the wrong location by the server will be automatically dumped.

If you are using FrontPage to upload to your webspace then you must use FTP and so you will still need the remote folder path for FTP FrontPage uploads.
