Publishing website on server

[Gary]

Hi.
Just designed a website and transfered the files to service provider's
server. When I checked the site in my browser I got a folder called parent.
Under that was my Indes.html and my folder called images.
I simply want to see the index.html open up automatically when you type the
website address. What am i doing wrong?

Did you upload the index.html file to the root directory of your html files?
Are you getting a flash page and you have to click to get into your main site?

When you say you transfered the files to the host server.
Did you publish the file to the host server or just copied and pasted it?
If you haven't published the site, I would give it a try and see if that
fixes it.
Delete everything from the host server and start from scratch.
Then publish the site from Publisher to your host server to the HTML root
directory (not the FTP root).
