I think we need more info. How are you uploading your pages? Via an
independent ftp software program, or what? What to you mean by "switch from
ftp to http"?

Probably, you page should be "index.html" - not "home.html"

Rename your home.html page to either index.html or default.html that should do the trick (and overlay your old 'homepage'.)

thank you, i will test it out now....what do you mean overlay my old "homepage?" im sorry, i just still dont understand website design yet...

It doesn't really have to do with web site design at all; it has to do with
how your web host handles your files.
