Updating Site via FTP

My website is based on a template; whenever this is changed I upload all
relevant pages (which is the entire site). My "htm" directory has a number of
sub-directories; when I click the htm directory to upload it asks if I want all
the directory structure included, I say yes. Everything is then loaded as
asked but I also get a repeat of all the sub-directories showing at the same
level as the "htm". To delete all these then requires deleting all the files
each one holds before I can delete 'it'. Question: Does this mean that with
every change to the template I have to upload each individual directory and
sub-directory? Thought it should be easier than this.

My "htm" directory has a number of
sub-directories

You mean on the server? Is that the folder that you have in your Host
directory field of the remote site definition?

If I understand you correctly, yes. I've always assumed the structure of the
site as I see it on my system should be in the same format when I upload it,
ie. my text files are all under "htm" but are then divided into separate
directories for the separate sales departments in the company (the images a

Please tell me what is in the field for the local site's root folder
definition, and what is in the Host directory field of the remote site's
definition.

The local root folder is H:\Web05\ll05\ ; the remote host directory field has just html/ in it.

Is the folder structure from html/ down identical to the folder structure
from H:\Web05\II05\ down?

Sorry for the delay in response... but yes.

At this point they both have the directories: htm, images, p7pm, templates as
well as the file "index". The directories 'htm' and 'images' both have
sub-directories in which to house-keep the data/images for 4 different
departments.

There really is no reason to have the templates folder on the server unless
you want to share the files with someone else.

Try this: create a new page, and save it in the htm folder. PUT it to the
server. Does it go into the htm folder on the server? If it does, then I
guess I don't understand your problem....
