I am trying to create a site with xhtml I have it done I just need to figure out how to upload it
I am using 000webhost as my web hoster but whenever I go on my main page it says
index of/
then it says all of my sites
I want to go directly to m main site
how do I do that?
You should go to:
Members area,
Login,
Select in Action GoTo Cpanel and then:
You should configure your FTP servers, upload an index.html or index.php file and put your main information there.
EDIT:
You should upload everything to your public_html folder always, you should see a file that should say do_not_upload_here before that folder.
Public html is what what it sounds like. The html container folder that contains what will be visible*. (*VERY rough explanation)
You can use their file manager or an FTP client for this pourpose.
BTW beware of the affiliate programe fo 000webhost, check it out, total hoax (the web hosting is very good for being free).
I´ll gladly expand if you have any doubts.
Here is a good FTP basic tutorial:

Do you have an index.html file in your root directory with your host? Without one of those (or another similar index file), you will just see a directory listing of your site.

this picture features the cpanel of the website I own. Check the image carefully and you will find out that there's "nothing" to be shown in "public_html" folder. But when ever I visit my domain (www.tumajnuri.com) I see the advertising banner of the service I bought the domain from. As an amateur, this is the first time I decide to upload web pages. I already learned this fact that "public_html" is the default "root" folder of many domains, but nothing exists within this folder. I should find out which folder contains this "jpg" file so, I can delete and replace it with my index.html. Thanks!

The default that you can upload/change is the public_html/index.html.
If you do not upload anything there is an other default that you can not change.
It is the domain/hosting service's html.
If I'm hosting a website, say at http://www.example.com, how can I find files that are in the same folder as index.html if I DON'T know the filenames?
So for example, if there are these files in there:
http://www.example.com/test.txt
http://www.example.com/test1.txt
Can anyone see this list of files? If so, how can I hide them, but make each one accessible to someone who knows the names? I don't want to use a password system, if possible.
If you put index.html in that directory, so no files will be listed. If you allow to upload to that directory, so i can upload some php script to list all files in directory. IF you don't know file name, you can try to guess it :)
You can use bruteforce tools such as dirbuster, or you can look at the "/robots.txt" file for some clues on what's on the website.
By the way, you should keep in mind that most of web servers nowadays have rights management implemented, so even if there is such file on the server it may not allow you access to it without authentication.
Some hosting providers provide an option to specify whether directory listings are allowed. If enabled, and a client requests a URL for a folder that does not contain a default HTML file (index.html, default.html, default.aspx, etc), then the web server will serve up an HTML file containing a listing of the files in that folder. It is rare that this option is ever enabled, though.
but you should be accurate while inserting names of files in URL or else you can use pen-test tool which will list out some of the names for free.for attempts ot full listing of files you'll need to be a paid member i guess
I have a big solution that contains a lot of .aspx file, basically it's a big sln file for my whole server
I wanted to add a website in my IIS server that contains inside a child directory within the root site folder, for example:
my-tools.com physical path is D:/MyWeb <-- Working well
I added a secondary sites, with no relation to the upper site called mysite which is like that:
mysite.my-tools.com which its path it D:/MyWeb/MySite/
If I try to reach mysite.my-tools.com/M_Index.aspx file it give me an error tells me it's not found, however, when I try to view a .jps file from the same directory (e.g mysite.my-tools.com/test.jpg) it returns just find.
it's important to tell that all the pages share the same solution, what do I do here and why it is not working? can anyone tell me?
thanks a lot
having the folder separated like you do is a step in the right direction. next step is to configure IIS to point to that separate folder. then you would need to create a DNS entry for your sub-domain at your DNS host. "subdomain.domain.com". You would be creating a new site, so you could use the same IP address, as long as you add the proper host headers for each site.
Using FileZilla, I can access folders that are outside my web directory. How can I do the same with Dreamweaver so that I can edit the files and automatically save/upload all through Dreamweaver? I currently can only access the web directory.
I know how to include them with PHP, but I would like Dreamweaver to find/access them.
Thank you!
You would have to set the Site Definition (both local and remote) paths to look one level higher than you currently have it. So if the local path is
My Documents/Web Sites/This Site
you would change it to
My Documents/Web Sites/
and if the remote is:
/user/home/domain.com/
change to
/user/home/
The problem you are going to run into is that Dreamweaver doesn't work well when set like this. It assumes the Remote path is the public web root and will create all sorts of files and folders there automatically and DW expects those to be in the public root. Also, things like setting paths to includes and images automatically will start to not work as all paths will start outside of the public web root.
Best to leave it as it is and use an external FTP program to handle the files outside of the web site.
We've bumped up against this situation previously where the desire was to have the PHP include files be moved outside the public HTML directory. JCL1178's answer is absolutely conceptually correct.
The actual implementation was to duplicate the site (under "Manage Sites") and essentially create a separate site for the "includes" directory that would go one level up. So the "Root Directory" setting was normal (in our case "public_html/" in the main site and we removed "public_html/" from the Root Directory setting in the "includes" site, effectively causing the path to go one level up.
Definitely not an ideal situation/workflow, to say the least, as you'll end up with two site definitions for one site (which can cause other issues); but Dreamweaver is what it is. We were working on a project offsite that did not allow for anything other than Dreamweaver to be used, so this is what we came up with to comply.
As an added note: we were only able to implement this solution because the webhosting plan allowed us to get to the root. If you're on a webhosting plan that is strictly limited to the public directory, the whole thing will be DOA.
Currently whenever a user uploads a file through our website, it gets put in a folder such as:
www.domain.com/Uploads/Docs/filename.doc
However, I'd like to move this to a subdomain such as:
uploads.domain.com/Docs/filename.doc
This is mainly because I'd like to keep the files uploaded by the user, totally seperate from the web app.
However, currently I use an ASP.NET FileUpload control to upload the files, by doing something like:
myFileUpload.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("/Uploads/Docs/filename.doc"))
How would I change this line of code to be able to upload to the subdomain easily?
Cheers.
If both domains are on the same server, simply point the site for the subdomain to the /Uploads/Docs directory as the base directory.
You can then restrict this directory from your www domain.
Different sites can share the filesystem and this may be a good solution for your problem, without changing any code.
