html folder not showing in FP2003

[Mark Hammer]

Question: why would an html folder in a web not show up in FP2003, when it
does show using FTP client software (FTP Voyager)?

Background: managing two sites: AccessAdvantage.com (screwed up) and
RetreatTracker.com (working fine).

Support staff at web host (APlus.net) advise me that all files must be in
the html folder. I tried moving files in AccessAdvantage.com and screwed it
up even more.

Looking back at RetreatTracker.com, my local version of the web has no html
folder and most files are located in the main web folder. When I open this
web in FP2003, I see no sign of an html folder, in either the local or the
web versions.

However, when I view the same RetreatTracker.com web site using FTP Voyager,
I find an html folder, and in that I see my web files.

Is FP hiding the html folder for me?

TIA,

You host must map your login / FP extensions to the folder that is to contact the root of your web
site. FP will publish to whatever location that is mapped to your login.
