Using smartFTP to upload website

Hello,
I have done everything to upload my website (bought domain name, web host, saved file as html), however it is not working. I am using smartFTP however, when i get to the very end of the process it keeps coming up with this:
550 index.html: No such file or directory
Does anybody know why it is not recognising the file?? I have logged in with my hosting account through smartFTP correctly, however it is not working. Can anybody help please???
Answer #1
did you upload the files to the public_html folder?
just so were clear, your sites index file is called index.html?
Answer #2
whats the public_html folder??
yes, my website file is called index.html. When i open up the file it works perfectly on my internet browser, so don’t think theres anything wrong with that, it just wont transfer from the local browser to remote browser :s
Answer #3
Whats the URL, can I atke a look at the error please.
Answer #4
it keeps saying:
550 index.html: No such file or directory
i dont think i can show you the file cus is on my local browser. am not sure if theres a setting i need to change on smartFTP or something?!
Answer #5
public_html is the folder files needs to be uploaded to on hosts that have cpanel/directadmin control panel but since you dont see one it doesnt matter
anyhows , its possible the smartftp crack was bad , try flashfxp http://www.google.com?t=1170425&start=0
