Question Trouble Uploading onto FTP

Hey Folks!

I 've got a little question about some FTP stuff.

I'm using Filezilla for Mac at the moment, and I can log onto my FTP through it, no problems. But I'm having some trouble trying to figure out which folder to write into? I've got quite a few, as this is the first time i've accessed my FTP site.

I thought it would come up blank. There are a few, folders such httpdocs and what not. but not sure what is the upload folder.
I'm using 1337.as for hosting.
Cheers

It depends, are you uploading web pages? Images? If it's pages, then depending on your hierarchy, the root should be httpdocs then probably something similar to "web". If it's images, then it really depends on how they are actually linked, as I'm assuming you used a site builder to actually create the site since you have never been into the file structure.

If you don't have a site up at all, then the root should be httpdocs, and you can create whatever folder structure from there that you require.

Try putting your files in public_html, that works for me
