URGENT
NOTICE: You will see a lot of folders. Some like these
and some others. If you mess around with the wrong folders you
can destroy your e-mail, your frontpage extenstions and more.
You must be careful in what you are doing.
The folder you are most interested in will probably
be the "public_html" folder.
This is where your web pages are and where everyone goes to see
your hosting account.
To access a folder you must click on the folder icon, not the
name. If you click on the name you will bring up a description
of the item in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
To add or manage your webpages click on the folder
icon next to the "public_html" words. (The black
arrow is pointing to where you should click). After clicking
on the icon you should
see the following screen.

At this screen you will see a listing of all
of the files in this directory. The screen shot above does
not show the entire
directory but is going to show you a few things. If you click
on the "Create New Folder" words or icon in the upper
right hand corner will appear a text box where you can enter
the name of the new directory. Enter the name of the new directory
and press the "Create" button and a new folder will
appear.
IIf you click on the "Up one level" you will be taken
back one directory. So if you are in the "public_html" directory
and click "Up one level" you will be taken back to
the screen showing all of the folders. (The image on the page
above this image with the red line). The "Up one level" will
only back up one directory at a time.

on the dialog box. When you do this the screen will change and

Add as many files as you want to upload at one time. If you want
to overwrite (or replace) files with the same names in the directory
check the "Overwrite existing files:" box. When you
are ready to upload the files press the "Upload" button
in the lower left corner. This will start the transfer process.
When the process is finished you will be brought back to the
folder listing all the files in it.
Delete Files
To delete a file click on the name of the file. This will bring
up the following screen in the upper right corner of the screen.

This will send the file to the Trash can. You will be able

If you click on the Trash can you will delete all the files
in the Trash can. If you decide you want to replace the file

If you empty the Trash can you cannot undelete any files.
Copy Files/Move Files

Click on the file name you want to transfer. Then in the upper
right hand
corner click on the words "Copy File". Then you will
see a list of folders. Simply click on the folder where you wish
to copy the file. You can also move files using the same process
but clicking on "Move File" rather than "Copy

Other Abilities
There are also some other things you can do with the files.
You can edit files onlin, change the permissions of folders and
files (CHMOD), and rename files and folder. To do these functions
simply click on the file or folder you want to change and then
