FTP Issue

[Lol123456]

I recently purchased a hosting subscription and a domain from 1&1 Hosting.

 

From the 1&1 control panel I set up an FTP account.

 

I downloaded FileZilla and logged in, created a 'content' folder and inserted my 'index.html' file.

 

I then went to the domain manager on the 1&1 control panel and directed the domain to the 'index.html' file.

 

However when I use the URL the 1&1 not published page shows up.

 

Any help appreciated, thanks.

are you able to connect to it via Filezilla Client using the IP/Domain?

Yes I use the domain and FTP username and password to access on Filezilla.

On the 1&1 Control Panel there is a WebSpace option which displays the file uploaded in Filezilla.

Is there a standard 'htfiles' folder?

Is there a standard 'htfiles' folder?

The structure is:

 

content -> index.html

logs -> (load of default files)

 

Where would the 'htfiles' folder go?

Would it matter?

Thanks!

I have a free host and when I log into FileZilla, I have to place my .html files in the ´htfiles´ folder. (which was already there, first time logging in)

Is there any documentation or FAQ where it says where you have to upload the the files?

 

EDIT: this is how my 'root' looks:
