I am trying to create a website and to this end have uploaded certain files to my webspace and as part of trying to see whats happening I tried the "view on the internet " option to various uploaded files,whereupon I was asked to provide my Plusnet user name and password but this results in a " 530 login error " I am sure I am using the correct login and password .where do you think I am in error?

I seem to have really screwed up .In my desire to get the web pages sorted out I decided to erase the existing files and start afresh but i can only find what seems to be an empty directory on the site now and I even worse I dont seem to be able to upload anything any more.I may have inadvertently deleted the htdocs directory can this be just replaced with make a directory command or does it require plusnets intervention.
I find this aspect of computing to be somewhat arcane I am afraid and don't seem to have a natural aptitude for this stuff !.
I have a domain name that is going to waste at present which is rather frustrating. could someone please help.

I managed to re-establish a web folder which is now accessed by " oldforgegallery " and this contains the htdocs folder and all the files including index .html but I still cannot get the right click --- " view files on the web " option to work in Fireftp .I just keep getting this stupid " 530 login error " I have tried every variation of my passwords all to no avail although I am sure I am using the correct one anyway ,i.e. the one with which I log onto the web site .Has anyone else had and solved this conundrum?

I would be backing up my files and asking PN to reset my webspace.

You should have created a directory inside htdocs called say oldforgegallery and uploaded all the content for the website to that directory. Then on the portal under Domain names you should have configured oldforgegallery.co.uk to have the directory under Domain Hostings Settings pointing to /htdocs/oldforgegallery (i.e. enter oldforgegallery in the box). At the moment you have both www.wlt001.plus.com and www.oldforgegallery.co.uk pointing to the same place.
You have also messed things up by having your home page called
index .html(i.e. with an embedded space). This is why you are getting the directory listings.
If you move www.oldforgegallery.co.uk to a subdirectory as suggested above you will find that http://www.wlt001.plus.com/oldforgegallery will display the home page of www.oldforgegallery.co.uk. To prevent http://www.wlt001.plus.com displaying the directory listing you will need to upload an index.html file to htdocs - this might consist of just a link to www.oldforgegallery.co.uk, or you might have different content you want on your plus.com home page.
Quote from: jelv In the connection advanced settings have you specified the prefix as /htdocs ?
Quote from: WILT If you mean have I designated /htdocs in the Remote Dir . box ,the answer is yes I just did that,but still got the 530 login error.Whats really ironic is that this post has been picked up by the web crawlers .Funny old world " init. "
No, I meant exactly what I said. In the FireFTP Account Manager on the third tab (Advanced) the setting Prefix should be /htdocs. You also need to have the correct host name on that page which will be www.wlt001.plus.com.
If you have set up the directories as suggested above and in FireFTP you want to view via the oldforgegallery.co.uk domain you should enter www.oldforgegallery.co.uk for the host and /htdocs/oldforgegallery for the prefix (i.e. the path you specified in the portal domain settings).
