  1. After the files have been transferred to the Remote System, check to see that they appear in the right hand side window (see picture below). Also make sure that your main web page file, the page people will first see on your web site is also named index.html
  2. If the main web page file is not named index.html you will need to find the file within the right hand side window. Highlight the file by clicking on it once, press the rename button on the right and type index.html into the text box that appears. Press OK to finish renaming the file.
