Web Host Question
I registred for web host with a company that uses linux server...
When I got my FTP PASS .. I saw alot of folders and i couldn't know where to put my site ! the questions are :
1- Where to put my web site to make it work?
2-can I use sites created with default frontpage Settings ? ( the default page is index.htm ) or linux server must have other ways in naming pages ?
Thank You ...

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
If you want to use FrontPage, you should make sure the ISP supports FrontPage Extensions - and what version they support. You may need to have them enabled for your account. Contact your ISP for the answer to that.
In addition, your ISP may give you a control panel of sorts that allows you to control MANY of these options yourself by simply signing in to the control panel.
The placement of your files on your site could be anywhere. It could be right off the immediate folder level OR it could in a sub folder like public_html (my linux provider does something like that). Again, if it's not obvious to you, your best bet is to contact the ISP, however, you can also list the folders you see when you sign in and perhaps someone here can help you.
