    Links not working

    I have recently uploaded my site and the link to the catalogue (on the home page) is not working. I have tried moving through the site on the ftp file base and the links from all the other pages inside the catalogue seem to work. I think that this has something to do with the way my files are set out on the ftp. The program automatically set it out in this fashion:

    websitefiles/cgi-bin,acatalog,index.html(all on the same level). The URL of the site is currently

    www.blessedbe.biz

    any comments would be very gratefully received.

    That sounds linke a normal setup
    the cgi-bin folder and acatalog folder at the same level, the brochure index page at that same top level.

    What are your network setings (with usernames and passwords removed please).

          i tried the suggessted settings without much luck. The same problem still persists but with a merge error at the end of the upload. I appreciate the help and am still open to any ideas . . .

            Have you amended the "path to cgi-bin" accordingly now Bills suggestion drops the "websitefiles" subfolder?

              Yes i have done and the same thing occurs. However this was without actually removing the websitefiles folder from the server because when i tried (so the layout was /cgi-bin,acatalogue,index.html/) this the whole site went down.

                If you click the URLs I gave you, you will find an index page active at the first URL. But cgi-bin is reported as missing.

                Have you put everything back the way it was, with everything inside the websitefiles folder?

                What you see when you look at a site using FTP, and what the server delivers in response to an HTTP request are very, very seldom the same thing.

                With the settings I offered, I would expect an FTP layout of

                \websitefiles\
                ---\acatalog\
                ---\cgi-bin\
                .htaccess
                index.html
