If it was via ftp can you see them when you ftp in
This is the login I use with FireFTP (Firefox) - replace the blacked out bits with your username
Account name ftp://username@ftp.plus.net
Login your username
Password - your account password

Thank you
The files are indeed accessible by typing the ftp address with the @ in the middle into the mozilla address bar and they are in the correct order i.e htdocs/ indexhtml/ sub directories /files. But when I try to visit the web space using an ordinary http:// address it just shows the proxy "intro" page. and when I try to use a simple ftp program I just get 2 dots of an unamed directory.

The directory structure should look like this (I have blacked out the sensitive bits).
Note the file index.html in the htdocs directory - that is where it needs to be

Ive managed to replace plusnets' index.html with my version and if you type the web space address I am now getting that page,so I've made
(by my standards at least ) some progress .I shall now have to go back into my web site creation software software and refine everything and sort out all the inter-related directories etc. NIGHTMARE. I presume when all this sorting is complete I erase all the existing defunct directories and files and offer the package up to plusnet to be hosted.When this happens can I chose the site address to be that of my registered domain?

If you change a file name or move it - doesn't it update all the links automatically ?.
I've only used Dreamweaver for the last 5 years so maybe that just spoils me at it most certainly does maintain site links.

Its just the usual learning curve thing.
Lets face it Computers are really stupid they never guess what you REALLY meant and they're SO pedantic about syntax
Thanks for the help so far everyone, Ive no doubt I,ll do an "Arnie" before long I.B.B.
