  My left hand side does not look like your left hand side. None of the files you have listed are on mine. I have : Binaries, Perf logs, Intel, Program files (2x), users and windows. And I find none if I open any of these. Just totally different. How come I’m so lucky?:)

  Apparently that is what is on my C drive.

  Right that’s what’s on your hard drive. You have to open up the folders where you keep your stuff.

  I keep mine in folders on my desktop. So I opened desk top and there is all my stuff.

  You may keep yours in documents and settings. I don’t know. You will have to open them and have a look around. Just click the + next to the words and they will open up more and you can see what is in each thing.

  Here’s what it looked like before I opened it all up to get where my stuff is.

  something is definately screwy. What does it say in your addres bar after you have gone to tools and selected FireFTP?

• 6 Jackie and Andrea // Apr 1, 2009 at 11:37 pm

  Hi Carolyn -

  This is in my browser bar when FireFTP is open:
  chrome://fireftp/content/fireftp.xul

  And before I ‘connect’ to any of my hosting accounts - the left side of my screen has two sections - this is where I can view my computer files.

  Once I ‘connect’ the right side gets populated with the files on my hosting account where I will upload my theme, plugins, etc …

  That help?

  OK, my browser bar says the same thing, but I get a small window saying I do not have the appropriate permission! Must be the pixels have turned to pixies and are playing with me! I will delete all and download FTP all over. will let you know if that does it!

  Hi Carolyn -

  I think your Fireftp is probably fine. I believe the only reason you would get a ‘failed’ message when trying to connect is because you’re putting in an incorrect cpanel user/pw.

  The problem appears to be Windows Vista, according to the “help > trouble shooting” section of http://FTP. They recommend FileZilla or SmartFTP. Your thoughts?

• 10 Jackie and Andrea // Apr 2, 2009 at 2:41 pm

  My thoughts are that Vista is dog poop.

  Either of those will work well - a lot of people recommend filezilla. I haven’t used it myself, but I bet there are tutorials around online.

  Here this one might help

  I’m tearing my hair!!!
  I have no file >public_html< I have downloaded another FTP, and still get the list of things on my computer that i got before. i HAVE GONE ALL THE WAY DEEP INTO EVERYTHING, and that file is not there. So I presume somehow I have not created it. Where did I miss that? And what to do now?(Balding is not helping!)

• 12 Jackie and Andrea // Apr 3, 2009 at 4:37 pm

  Ooh no balding please

  The public_html folder is on the host side. It’s where all your website content lives.

  my website content is homeless! It is not on any side. Neither are any of the other things in the above pictures!

  For everyone else - Carolyn took a private coaching appointment. Because she was working on sub-domains rather than putting this on her main hosting domain - things got a little screwy with where Wordpress was loaded vs. where she was trying to login. All is well now

  Sorry Andrea & Jackie

  With regards to the http://FTP. I have teh public_html, folder. Inside I have my domain.com folder and inside I have the wp_content with the themes. Is this right? Looks different than what you have on the tutorial.

  Thanks
  Andrea

  Yes that is right ~ I just skipped the picture opening the domain.com folder in the lesson.
