Okay, I know how to log onto the site I want to use, but after that, things get sticky. DW goes through a long process of looking like it is loading my pages, but when I get there, it shows my index and other pages as having 0 kb! I try re-putting those affected sites, but they will not upload. What am I doing wrong?

When you setup the site in DW, I assume you ran the test to make sure you could upload -- correct?

Your webhost may require you to put files in a certain directory such as a folder named www or something like that. Read the info the web host emailed you when you purchased the account, it should tell you want directory files should be uploaded to.

As a test, try to upload one file, not in a folder and see if you can see that file

Well my server is at&t.net, formely Bellsouth. The sight was functioning properly at school, and at home. I tried to upload it to Tripod, since I had to create a site for my class project, but no dice. I tried to use my personal web space on Bell-- At&T, and ended up doing a FTP/DOS transfer. 2 hours later, and my website is online. But now I have a new problem. As part of the web design class, we had to add a video component. Again, works fine from home, and school computers. But not at my website. Welcome to Cathy's World of pets! (http://bellsouthpwp2.net/c/a/caldwellcandace) BTW, the name on the URL is my roommate, she has the service, so no looking me up that way ;)
I added the scripts folder, and FLVPlayer_progressive.swf, and two skins, everything that is in my root folder, and nothing works. Any ideas?
