Help with FTP FILES?

HI, I am novice at this but I really want to build my website and do as much on my own as possible.

I have a domain, I have a hosting company, I have downloaded CoreFTP Client which is a free trial.

The problem I am having is when I sign in to CoreFTP everything seems fine, it%26#039;s showing me that 226 transfers completed, but I don%26#039;t know where the transfers are going.. as it is not in my cpanel with my hosting company.. My hosting company keeps telling me that I have not uploaded my files so my website will not show up.

My website is blank, at least it comes up in the browser blank.

But when I use my scripts within my hosting company and i install a script, it shows up on my website in the directory that I assigned it too.

I hope i make sense in what I am trying to say.

so please someone help me with my FTP download/upload, and if you don%26#039;t know about the ftp client i am using, can u suggest one that you%26#039;re knowledge about and guide me step by step.. thanks for the help

Yes, as said. Please check your settings/ config.

Check if the FTP server name is pointing the hosting company%26#039;s servers. Recheck the username and password you have to use on their servers to authenticate.

And check the destination%26#039;s path and directory. Make sure you can trace the root.

The same goes for the scripting. Make sure you put it on the folder/ path where they can be run.

Good luck!

I run a free hosting company and that%26#039;s the sort of question I would expect my valued clients to be asking me, not people on YA. Your hosting company should have directed you to a good free and easy to use FTP client, supplied you with the appropriate password , username and file paths. Maybe you should consider changing your current hosting company. YA policy does not allow me to advertise my services or promote my company so good luck!

Now dump that trial ware off your system, make a backup before and after it is gone because most window binaries have hooks or common .dlls that are shared and will result in total system failure when removed, so make a backup.
