FTP Problems

[deeztreezeez]

Whats Up Guys,
I am managing this guys webpage in dreamweaver (just started). He just needs me to do a few simple things, change address, pictures, etc. I entered all the correct info for the ftp settings in dreamweaver. And it DOES connect to the remote server. After making changes to a page and saving, when I sync up everything appears to go fine. But when I go to view the page on the internet NONE of the changes I made show up. I really have no idea why this is. Maybe its something simple I am overlooking. Could it be that the original guy that was managing this page did it on a PC and I am managing it on a MAC? would this really make a differance. Am I missing a step?

It shouldn't make any difference if the other guy was on a PC and you're on a Mac. It's HTML either way. As long as you are saving it to the place where the web server is looking for it, it shouldn't be a problem.

I would connect to the server with a regular FTP client, download one of the files that you modified, and compare it to the file on your local machine. If the changes you made are there, those files may not the be ones the actual web site is using. If the changes you made aren't there, then something in your Dreamweaver configuration is probably messed up and it's not uploading the files correctly.

are you uploading to the /public_html/ directory and not the root directory?
