Files won't show (html)

Hi, this is my first post....

I am having trouble with my website, i can't seem to get all of the html files on my website to show, my website is at http://www.mytag.co.uk the index.html file shows and the download link works (also the file links work but none of the other links work.

I have tried moving the files onto a different server but it still doesnt work, i can't understand it, at first i thought it was the file permissions but i have ruled that out, the code in the files are identical apart from a few lines of content.

please feel free to look at the address, it is as if the files dont exist, i have checked and they are all in the right dir and they are all linked correctly.

please help, anything will be usefull.

Thanks

I think it's because your web server is a Linux server and therefore, case sensitive. The one link that is working points to Download.html - note the capital D. I'm guessing that all your HTML files on the page are named with capital letters.

You need to make sure that the filenames in the HTML have the same case as what's on the server. So if the file is called E-Books.html, the link tag will also have to be <a href="E-Books.html">

LT is most likely correct. As a general rule, I always use lowercase names when uploading files and then use the same in my links.

it seems to be the case

LT seems to be on the money I noticed that the Downloads.html has a capital d so I would defently check on that. Also as scott stated I try to make sure that I use the same nameing convetion on all the pages because I always overlook the small things like that. Also the title was not meant to be a joke I thought it was a great way to got to the answer sorry about the corny humor.
