Re: [H] Hosting ...windows to Linux
As you know, ftp is for moving files. You should be able to use the web to access your provider, login and use some kind of manager. cPanel is the most common for Linux hosting.

Re: [H] Hosting ...windows to Linux
I ftp into my hosting account site. I don't see any of those folders you are showing. When use a web browser to go to my domain I don't even see Network Solutions logo and under construction page and that is telling me it is not online yet. Now if the reason is Network Solutions has enabled FTP support but hasn't got the site on line yet... is that possible OR maybe Godaddy hasn't completely released it yet.

Re: [H] Hosting ...windows to Linux
I can't move up one level because that is root. I have root and the two folders.

Re: [H] Hosting ...windows to Linux
Put the files in public_html. As long as front page created a index.html file it should work. Are you using Cpanel? https://scrot.cloud/images/2020/07/25/public_html.png Al On Sat, Jul 25, 2020 at 5:09 PM _ Winterlight wrote: > I have a domain hosted at google.

[H] Hosting ...windows to Linux
I have a domain hosted at google. I just switched from windows hosting at Godaddy to Linux hosting at Network solutions. It is a very simple personal account and no real website per say consisting of text files, a couple of subdomains..i.e... reference stuff I keep online. I downloaded what was on the godaddy windows hosting site. So instead of putting all the files and folders in the root directory of a windows hosting account I just put them in htdocs folderis this correct? Does the fact that the windows site was created with front page matter. Once I copy those files should the site start working normally? I ask because it is not working and I am wondering if the reason is that the site hasn't updated yet ... I purchased the hosting account yesterday... or is it something about my files? But the first thing I need to know is did I transfer the files correctly? thanks w
