There is no index.htm at all in the directory the web server points to as the home directory fror your web site. When an index.htm file does not exist, what displays in the browser is an actual "index" of the content of that directory. Note that if you click on the www.grieved.fsnet.co.uk entry in that "index" listing your proper web site is displayed.
To fix this problem you must ensure that you always upload your revised web site to the proper directory. This a matter of ensuring the proper directoy is displayed on the right hand side of the WS_FTP user interface screen before you upload your files *_AND_* that the files you wnat to be in that directory and _NOT_ the directory they are in is what gets uploaded.

I originally used MS Publisher & WSftp to create and upload a basic information website, to my free 15mb personal webspace on FreeServe, for a Drugs Information Charity which I am Project Director of.
However, when I edited the saved "websitepages.pub" Web Publisher pages, and added some new pages, after I used WSftp to first download & delete the original webpages, then used the MS Publisher "Save to the Web" File option, to upload the newly edited webpages, which had been saved to my hard disc, for some unknown reason the newly uploaded pages are being placed in a sub-directory, causing a strange "index.htm" page to appear. I cannot get this effect to go away, or despite repeated attempts to re-upload the edited pages, it still happens. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? My website can be visited, so you will see the effect yourself, at :- www.grieved.fsnet.co.uk
Any suggestions or advice, would be really appreciated.
