How do I get my FTP to read and use the files within the MYWEB fol

Okay I'm creating a business website, and I've created 10 different pages
linked of a central homepage using Frontpage as the interface for creation. I
have XP.
I've purchased the domain I'd like to use, and also paid for ample hosting
space.
I'm trying to use IE as an easy way to set up a ftp and I'm having problems.
When creating my webpages I used the default "MYWEB" for the name of folder,
Then in "my network places" I created a ftp path of the exact same name as my
websites domain. So ftp.danacaploan.com should theorietically be
www.danacaploan.com?

Now here's where I'm stuck ! When opening up on the right side of my screen
ftp.danacaploan.com and on the left side of the screen the local destination
"MYWEB" I transfered the "MYWEB" folder to the ftp server and after a few
minutes it finally loaded everything.

Now on the local side ther folder MYWEB includes just a private folder, an
image folder that includes the photos for my pages, and my 10 .htm pages.

Upon transferring to the ftp the MYWEB folder now includes folders like:
borders, derived, fpclass, overlay, themes, vticnf, & vtipvt. plus the images
folder and my 10 pages.

Now going to www.danacaploan.com through the webbrowser I get a typical 403
messege. Apparently the ftp cannont load anyhting from within the MYWEB
Folder that's located on the ftp?

I've figured this out because if I take the 10 pages from my local MYWEB
folder and paste them directly to the ftp so that looking @ it shows 10 pages
and a MYWeb folder as it's contents.

Upon looking on the WWW my website shows up, well sort of? all the info I've
written is there but none of my pictures, or frontpage's themes, or all
boarders and bulltes appear? They only show up as a white box frame with a
small red X.

How do I get my FTP to read and use the files I need that are within the
"MYWEB" folder?

It looks like if I could just copy everything from inside the MYWEB folder
and place it outside of itsself everything would be able to read. But
unfortunately once I copy anything from inside it will absolutely not let me
paste into the folder above it?

Also I've tried changing the file permissions but that hasn't helped any.

Sorry so long, how it's not too confusing, would greatly appreciate you help
or insight.

Thanks Andrew

Why not use FP to publish/upload to the live/remote server via FTP? If the live/remote server has
the FP extensions, then you need to publish via http with FP.

If publishing to a server that doesn't have the FP extensions, you must make sure that your home
page is named as required by your web host.
